Interactive eBook Apps: The Reinvention of Reading and Interactivity | UX Magazine - 0 views

  •  
    The invention of the tablet PC has created a new medium for book publishing. Interactive books are everywhere, and have revolutionized the way people consume the printed word. With the recent software available to allow easy creation of interactive books and with the race to bring these products to market, there seems to be a more and more dilution of quality and a loss for the meaning of interactivity. When publishers create new eBook titles or convert a traditional printed book to a digital interactive eBook, they often miss the added value this new medium can provide.

    "Over the last few days I've featured a couple of free tools for adding interactive elements to your videos. In the last year I've reviewed a few other services and methods for doing the same thing. This is a round-up of the ways that you can add interactive elements to your videos. The first four tools could be used by students to create a series of choose your own adventure videos. These tools could be used by teachers to enhance the short videos that they create for flipped lessons."

Death of the IWB? | Australian Teacher Magazine - No.1 national education sector public... - 4 views

  • Where, perhaps, when considering how to best set up learning spaces for our students, we once thought it was a choice between a regular whiteboard and an interactive whiteboard, we now have a full array of options to choose from.
  • In our senior school, on the other hand, what a lesson looks like has been more radically shifting. Recently we have been able to flood our senior school with MacBooks and iPads.
  • Students have access to the tools and devices that can empower them to discover things for themselves. They can take charge of their learning, and personalise it in a way that never before has been possible.

  • I was able to get in 55” LCD TVs for around $1300 (ex GST). Adding a trolley for the TV was another $600. A grand total of $1900 meant we still had around $6000 in the bank compared to if we had purchased more IWBs with ultra short throw widescreen projectors.

    "IT'S been over a year now since I removed an interactive whiteboard (IWB) from a classroom wall for the first time. Yes, you read that right: removed. And not to put another one up. In fact, what went in its place was a good old-fashioned non-interactive whiteboard - the same sort we tore down just two years earlier."

How to Make an Interactive Lesson Using Youtube « Knewton Blog - 6 views

  •  
    "We've been getting a lot of questions ever since our GMAT Choose Your Own Adventure video went up. Well, one question, really: How can I make one for my students? Answer: It's easy! Youtube has a great tool called Spotlight that lets you make any video interactive. It's really handy for lessons and quizzes. Essentially, you can ask students a question - or a series of questions - and when they answer show them a personalized video response according to how they did."

Build Interactive Whiteboard Lessons - 6 views

  •  
    Based on our core Whiteboard technology, Desmos aims to serve as a web-based, unifying standard for interactive lessons. Professional content developers, publishers, and individual teachers alike can create and distribute vivid, effective content through our community. No longer are teachers limited by the kind of hardware they have in their classroom. They can build lessons on their computer and then use them in class on their Interactive Whiteboards, or at home from your computer, or on the go from a tablet. Accessing Desmos is as simple as opening up a browser. Not only can you build lessons, but you can work together, live, with other members of the community by inviting them to share your Whiteboards.

  •  
    "So it's mid-August and for many teachers the new school year has begun and for others it's not too far away. Some of you will be starting at new schools and with that there's a chance that you'll be coming to terms with a new interactive whiteboard. You may already be familiar with whiteboards already, and are just starting at a school with a different brand. Either way, here's a summary of blogposts I've written in the past that hopefully will prove useful to you."

Dr. Z Reflects: Poof! Your iPad Becomes an Interactive Whiteboard - 5 views

  •  
    "I have never been a big fan of the Interactive Whiteboards (IWB). We continually cry for more student-centric problem-based learning curriculum and then we introduce these BIG TICKET devices to maintain the teacher's control of the classroom. Where is the sense in that? We need to provide a system where the control is in the students' hands. That IS the definition of student-centric."

The Evolution of the Web - 3 views

  •  
    "The web today is a growing universe of interlinked web pages and web apps, teeming with videos, photos, and interactive content. What the average user doesn't see is the interplay of web technologies and browsers that makes all this possible. Over time web technologies have evolved to give web developers the ability to create new generations of useful and immersive web experiences. Today's web is a result of the ongoing efforts of an open web community that helps define these web technologies, like HTML5, CSS3 and WebGL and ensure that they're supported in all web browsers. The color bands in this visualization represent the interaction between web technologies and browsers, which brings to life the many powerful web apps that we use daily."
