The iPad Generation by @deputygrocott - 4 views

  •  
    "The iPad generation. That's what I call the children of today. Now that's neither a positive or a negative nickname, just a nickname, however, whatever view you have on it, the impact on our teaching is huge. Children are brought up with bright colours, avatars, HD and 4K screens, virtual worlds full of weird and wonderful characters and then there's school. I believe that it is vital that we, as educators, sit up and take note of this and rather than fight against it, embrace it. Make your teaching as fun and as interactive as you can. Bring lessons to life with hands-on experiences, opportunities to enquire and lessons where the children can investigate the world around them."

How the iPad 2 Will Revolutionize Education | Fast Company - 105 views

  •  
    Not compelling at all. When a company tells you how a technology will revolutionize education, think very carefully, deeply, and critically.
  •  
    Agreed. I'll consider the iPad an educational resource when Apple starts giving some serious grants for it. Till then, it just seems like Jobs wants schools to join the bandwagon the way consumers do.

iPad As.... - 199 views

  •  
    This is a must have resource for those schools who have iPads and want ideas to implement them with. I will share this with the teacher in my Chicago school, for they just rolled out iPads to the teachers and students. Teachers were trainied on how to set up the device and maintain it but not much practical implimentation suggestions. This gives a good idea of how the apps work, the cost and ease of use. Thanks for this post!!!

iPad as an Interactive White Board for $5 or $10 « Moving at the Speed of Creativity - 5 views

  •  
    School leaders around the United States continue to spend HUGE amounts of money on interactive whiteboards for classrooms, despite the fact that these devices universally FAIL to empower students to become more independent, self-directed and engaged learners in the way mobile learning devices (like laptops, tablets or other personal digital learning tools) can. Please do not misunderstand me: It definitely IS a big deal for a teacher and his/her students to have access to an LCD projector connected to a computer in the classroom if previously, the "normal" technology in the room was an overhead projector.

Challenging the Model of 1:1 with BYOD | Edutopia - 87 views

    • Roland Gesthuizen
       
      Interesting reading how this school implemented a hybrid BYOD 1:1 program. The emphasis is on a collaborative, co-teaching model rather than slabs of professional development around particular applications.
  •  
    This year my school district in Vermont ventured into a sort-of BYOD/1:1 hybrid program. We realized the importance of allowing our students access to technology to enhance their learning, but the infrastructure wasn't in place to tackle a traditional BYOD. .. Instead, we chose to be creative with our technology and professional development.

What Will It Take for iPads to Upend Teaching and Learning? | MindShift - 61 views

  •  
    "As schools across the country consider which devices to invest in, they must first consider their big-picture vision for how they'll be using these devices - and to what end. They must consider the needs of teachers and students, and come up with a shared understanding of their goals."

  •  
    "By Request - Five Options for Creating Videos on Chromebooks" - great options for creating videos in Chromebooks, iPads, and other mobile devices. Some work on conventional computers, as well. WeVideo is one our district used w/high school students and it worked well.

      Incredible! Such and example of trusted sources pushing certain products while at the same thing advertising themselves.
  • This campaign turned famous authors into headphones.
    • Tricia Hunt
       
      Genius!  I love the idea of audio books being Authors' voices speaking to us in an intimate way.
  • School portraits are turned on their heads to remind the viewer that every child gets education

      WOW! Even more powerful!  This shows the impact media has made on us.  The left is the woman describing herself and the right is a STRANGER describing her!!! INSANE!
  • Fake ads cleverly pushed for better literacy rates in France

Given Tablets but No Teachers, Ethiopian Children Teach Themselves | MIT Technology Review - 3 views

  • The idea of dropping off tablets outside of the context of schools is a new paradigm for OLPC.
  • iving computers directly to poor kids without any instruction is even more ambitious than OLPC’s earlier pushes. “
  •  
    A bold experiment by the One Laptop Per Child organization has shown "encouraging" results.

    A cool article!

Obama to push for new ed-tech agency | Featured Funding News | eSchoolNews.com - 44 views

  •  
    Another federal agency with powers of the purse over education. Yeah, that's what we need.
  •  
    The very next entry in Diigo, (after this one about a new ed-tech agency) was an article about Victoria, Australia providing iPads for every student. Some of the classrooms in my school haven't even a single computer for the 27 students to use. Somebody needs to provide the leadership to help the U.S. keep up with the rest of the world. If it is a fed agency, so be it. Iit's better than what we have now (at least in my state) which is nothing.
