Pew Research: Wealthy Have Laptops, the Poor Have Cell Phones - PCWorld - 1 views

  •  
    Pew Research indicates poor and drop outs trend towards cell phones for information. (No surprise).  
  •  
    What are instructional design considerations to keep in mind when desiging mobile learning for pay-as-you-go learning populations?  What are accessible m-learning activities for these learners?
  •  
    Clearly, designers should strive to create resources that are as easy to access and use on a cell phone platform as they are on a laptop if they hope to reach these populations. Regarding the high school dropouts: I'm inclined to think there is more going on here than just money issues. There might be a perception that cell phones are "cool" while using a laptop is nerdy and bookish.

Google Invents an App Inventor - 1 views

  •  
    According to Google, this resource is so easy to use that kids can create their own Apps, though limited to Google's Android OS. Google borrowed some code from a teacher education program at MIT as their building blocks. They hope young people (and teachers) will be inspired to become serious App creators. Critics say it will only add to the hundreds of low-quality, useless Apps that are already out there. What do you think?

  •  
    I'm not sure if CLRN is living up to its potential, but this website has links to many electronic resources, electronic textbooks, media reviews, and other information for educators. It is worth checking out!
  •  
    Kelly, this looks very interesting. There are a few resources in the Visual and Performing Arts section that I think I could use. I'm still not clear on whether this is a free or pay-as-you go resource but I am going to sign up for their "trial account".

Embracing Social Media in the Classroom - 1 views

  •  
    This article reinforces the importance of creating structure when using social media in the classroom. "... the use of social media in school can't be left to chance; it needs to be mediated." I think this article makes great points about integrating SM into the classroom and its role in empowering our students.
  •  
    This is such an important topic, Christine. As we begin to bring the social media tools that our students use on an everyday basis into the classroom it is so important that we create that same "structure" and "guidance" that we do with all of the other tools and materials that we use. They need and expect this from us in this rapidly changing era of technology.

    Even stuffy ivy league universities are seeing the value of adding social media classes to their MBA programs to encourage new business models. Part of this is a reaction to some embarrassing errors made by major corporations: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/31/education/31iht-riedmba.html

    Thanks for posting this Cathy! Ken and I were having a difficult time finding images that were free to use in education. We did not want to find ourselves using materials without permission. Thanks for the post!

    I came across this tip for making form data in Google spreadsheets more organized - very helpful!
  •  
    Great tip! I often create surveys with Google docs, but dislike how lengthy responses in the formula cells take up too much space. This would be a great way to clean up the data for easier analysis. Thanks!

    This site allow teachers to create modules for students to listen to, look at and/or read. Once they do that they record an audio response. This is great for ESL and World Language teachers. It has a limited free account and the paid account is very reasonable.
