eLearn: Feature Article - It's the Pedagogy, Stupid: Lessons from an iPad Lending Program - 1 views

  • The truth is that the iPad is not destined to change the face of education. Nor is it just an expensive toy bought only by Apple fanboys, as some anti-Apple bloggers hyperbolize. It's a tool, like any other, and in the classroom it must always be thought of as being in the service of pedagogy. The pedagogical foundations must be solid, because the tool will achieve no heights the underlying pedagogy will not support

    As Fraser mentioned on twitter, just because the iPad is "a tool, like any other" doesn't mean all tools are equal.

iPad study released by Oklahoma State University - 0 views

  •  
    This is from Fall 2010.  One very interesting part of the summary states: "From a faculty perspective, the greatest benefit was having uniform hardware and software available across the class. Said differently, faculty knew all students had access to the same learning tools. This was critical when planning assignments and class activities." Yes, this is exactly what Speirs was talking about in Run What Ya Brung.

There Are Now More Free Apps For Android Than For The iPhone: Distimo - 0 views

  •  
    A good break down of app numbers per store.  It's important to note that price is just one consideration in the purchase decision. Also note that when an app is free and supported by ads, you are what's being sold.  It's not bad (or good), it's just important to know.

Fix for installing Diigo highlighter for iPad - 3 views

  •  
    Diigo's bookmarklet-based highlighter for iPad is terrific, but the JavaScript code doesn't correctly work on an iPad under 4.3.1 until you copy/paste it manually from this discussion post.
