I’m hoping the iPad not being capable of multitasking might help me focus a little better

I found it a lot easier to take an iPhone pic of a diagram the teacher drew on the board than attempt to recreate it in my notebook

  Interesting look at iPad in education on the college level...Will be interesting to see further reflections on using the iPad once it's actually available.

Textbooks

  Obviously talking about the collegiate level...middle school textbooks would be roughly $50 per class (~$200) and used for multiple years

imagine not being able to listen to music or read an e-book while surfing the web
- Todd Williamson on 17 Mar 10
  
  By all accounts, the iPad will be running current iPhone OS 3.1 which does allow you to listen to music while doing other things...the rub will be creating a presentation in Keynote for iPad without direct access to the web for photos...or having to shut down Safari to check your Twitter client, etc.

I think a big miss on this article is any discussion of content creation capabilities of netbooks and iPad. Kindle and Dead Tree books don't allow extensive content creation, the iPad has limited capabilities, but netbooks open up a whole range of creative possibility. Also, it's obvious this article is geared toward college students, not middle or high school.

Education Week's Digital Directions: Whiteboards' Impact on Teaching Seen as Uneven - 31 views

IWBs Marzano Good Teaching

shared by Todd Williamson on 12 Jan 10 - Cached

That finding highlights one of Marzano’s key conclusions from the study. The teachers who were most effective using the whiteboards displayed many of the characteristics of good teaching in general: They paced the lesson appropriately and built on what students already knew; they used multiple media, such as text, pictures, and graphics, for delivering information; they gave students opportunities to participate; and they focused mainly on the content, not the technology.

Teacher Beat: Has the Research on Formative Assessment Been Oversold? - 1 views

blogs.edweek.org/...the_research_on_formative.html

shared by Todd Williamson on 26 May 09 - Cached

it means formative assessment, though promising, isn't necessarily a silver bullet.
- Todd Williamson on 26 May 09
  
  When will teachers recognize there is NO silver bullet? Not technology, assessment, worksheets or any other attempt that will come down the line, even online learning as outlined in Disrupting class. There just cannot be a one size fits all approach for the wide variety of students we will encounter.

So the "research" doesn't back up claims of great gains from formative assessment? I stilll can't see how a data collection "check-up" along the way isn't a good idea. Why wait until the autopsy of data at the end of the unit/year? Wonder if they researched the effect size on the same teacher when they used formative assessment vs. when they did not?
