How the iPad Can Transform Classroom Learning | Edutopia - 3 views

  •  
    The teacher could have 30 students, all doing the same thing at the same time on their iPads, but this doesn't make sense either. The students have a powerful information tool in their hands, and as The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics require students to think critically and problem solve, there is no way that a teacher can get students to become independent learners in sync.

      Sorry, same article but from the original source.
  • “I’m petrified that we’ll apply new technology to old pedagogy,” Soloway said. “Right now, the iPad craze is using the same content on a different device. Schools must change the pedagogy.”

We’ll be surprised if a significant portion of districts aren’t using mobile learning inside and outside of schools soon.”
  • Flash card programs for the iPad are too numerous to count. What a waste!”
  • The opportunity of using mobile devices and all of its utilities allows educators to reconsider: What do we want students to know, and how do we help them? And what additional benefit does using a mobile device bring to the equation? This gets to the heart of the mobile learning issue: beyond fact-finding and game-playing – even if it’s educational — how can mobile devices add relevance and value to how kids learn?
  • one of the most important tenets of a well-rounded education: personalized learning – students owning what they learn.
  • Kids are still learning to type, they’re not as good as multi-processing. It’s all they can do to keep track of one thing that’s going on,”

  • Just like a carpenter chooses the right tool for the job, our students should have the opportunity to choose the right technology for their needs.
  • three different classes and we clearly need three different devices for our students.
  • As I listened to the conversation this week it struck me how much we handcuff students and teachers when we tell them what technology they are required to use.

  • If we are truly designing a student-centric learning environment and putting the students in the position to make meaningful decisions about their education, how can we justify deciding which device they are required to learn on?
