5 iPad Apps That Changed My Mind - NYTimes.com - 12 views

  •  
    "But what convinced me that I truly was wrong about the iPad and its prospects for the future weren't the reports coming in about its tremendous retail success. That could still be accounted for by initial fervor for a new product by Apple, which, few will argue, has become the "it" company of late. No, it was a few select apps that convinced me that the iPad was here to stay, and that that was a good thing. Below are those apps, along with why I think they're serious game-changers. "

    Air Video is great, this is an awesome app. I have used it to share videos off my laptop for students to view on the iPad. Nice summary of cool iPad Apps that are serious game-changers.

What if my child does not like reading? - 0 views

  •  
    This testimony reflects a typical behavior of teens whose interests evolve with the group. It is also the age of the first emotions and the need to confront reality. Outside, this lack of interest in reading often worries parents. "This fear is legitimate because mastery of the language is essential, and parents feel responsible for it.In addition, with the development of fake news, it is essential to access culture and the right information," says Christian Poslaniec.

Do you know your CBL from your PBLs?!? - 3 views

  •  
    "At my school it has become time to formally institute a new curriculum structure that best suits the needs of our 21st century students. But which pedagogical approach do we go with? Or rather, should the question be, which acronym do we go with? There's IBL or EBL (Inquiry Based Learning or Enquiry Based Learning, depending on which brand of English you prefer), CBL (Challenge Based Learning), and an awful lot of PBLs (including Project Based, Product Based, Problem Based, Play Based, Passion Based and Process Based Learning!)."

Information Literacy development - 1 views

  •  
    "I've just been browsing a report recently published by Ofcom titled "Children and parents: Media use and attitudes report." [PDF]. Much of my work in schools and with teachers involves discussions about the sorts of skills and dispositions young people need to be considered 'literate' in an increasingly digital world. The research carried out by Ofcom reveals some useful data to help inform how schools think about a response, including…"

Really? It's My Job To Teach Technology? Upside Down Blooms - 7 views

  • Are we teaching students to look for help everywhere to solve their problems? 4. There should be a K-12 agreement about which skills and software knowledge our students are going to graduate with. A expected skill set sounds like a good idea but is a list of required software competencies too prescriptive and unrealistic to maintain? Yes….first of all this is exaclty why the NETs for Students does not list software. If we teach software we are teaching a program not a skill. Let’s teach skills and use the appropriate program needed to accomplish the task at hand. Like Andrew points out, it really is unrealistic to maintain a list of all the programs that students have mastered, been exposed to, or know exist. I have seen schools try and do this and I have only seen a mess as the outcome. Students come and go, programs come and go, one year we are teaching X and the next year Y. Teach the skill and choose the program that fits.
  • Create can be met with paper and pencil, with glue and scissors, with a hammer and nail, or with movie maker and it should be the job of every teacher to expose students to different ways of creating content that fits within their discipline.

The problem with "the" Twittersphere is that it doesn't really exist - 1 views

  •  
    "..... it's becoming clear that relying on Twitter for news is making me, well, an uninformed idiot. It's gotten extreme enough, that I've considered resubscribing to a print daily paper to make sure I'm forcibly injecting a diet of un-Sarah-Lacy-curated news into my life. That's certainly a ramification of Twitter I never considered a few years ago: An actual yearning for East Coast media elite gatekeepers telling me what I need to know."

Moot | Forums and commenting re-imagined - 0 views

shared by Damien Murtagh on 23 May 13 - No Cached
  •  
    Moot (Beta) is a very interesting project in my eyes because there's a bit of tension in its design philosophy: it wants to take a step back into the past and recover the lost relevance of meaningful discussion (which they claim have died with social media) while incorporating features of the future (clean and responsive interface).

The History 2.0 Classroom: Postach.io X Evernote X Explain Everything X iPads - 3 views

  •  
    conjunction with Explain Everything, students now have the ability to publish blog posts through their existing Evernote account that can include customized images, graphics or posters. One of my favorite uses for Explain Everything is to create graphics by using the cropping image & text feature. Once the graphic is created, it can either be exported to the camera roll or uploaded directly to Evernote. Once the image is included in the Evernote note that is tagged with "published", the blog post will appear on the Postach.io blog with the custom image. (If publishing directly from Explain Everything to Evernote, remember to go into the note and add the "published" tag word).

    "..... did you know that there are a whole lot of other things that you can do on YouTube? If you go to www.youtube.com/editor you will find a reasonably capable online video editor at your disposal. Sure, it's not Premiere Pro or Final Cut, it's not even iMovie, but for a completely free video editing tool that runs in nothing but your web browser, it's surprisingly functional."
