  • “Textbooks have really great things, but they’re also very limiting,” said Underwood, who is in her 24th year of teaching at Olympia High. “Our kids are digital kids. They respond very well to this kind of tactile environment, where they can get immediate feedback.”

      Again, the focus is on the stuff. Not the pedagogy, or the changes in teaching. Really?
  • hasn’t used iPads because they don’t work with the district’s technology system

      And this technology system is some proprietary POJ from Albania?
  • as well as a pilot program at Olympia High where students in an intensive college readiness course known as AVID were issued district-owned iPads to use throughout the year for note-taking, research and organization.

      And what has been done with teacher training? Shifts in pedagogy?
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The district is still training many teachers on how to incorporate the use of mobile devices in their classrooms,

      GOOD!
  • “They put them back where they’re supposed to,” she added. “They never put French books back where they’re supposed to.
  • We have a French Blog where the students' class projects (videos, comics, writing, etc... all created on the iPads) are posted. This allows for students from different class periods to observe and interact not only with what their other peers are doing but also what the other levels of the language are working on. Another really useful hands-on learing experience.

      Glad to see the students getting in on making this the story it should have been.

    Telling.... The more I used the Fire, the more it felt like I was looking through the wrong end of a spyglass and all I could see was Amazon. I had read that the Fire is designed as a consumption device for Amazon products but I hadn't believed that they would go to so much trouble to hobble what should be a general purpose computer.

  • This guideline is designed to provide specific guidance to Government of Canada departments on the use of externally facing Web 2.0 tools and services

    Wow, Canada is really trying to clamp down on Web 2.0 while at the same time claiming they are promoting use.
