dynamic learning environment that helps educators bring social learning and interactive experiences to their students. It's open to everyone, easy to use, and totally free.
The first weeks and months of any 1:1 pilot are difficult. Facing each new learning obstacle with a new device seems awkward, ungainly, and not part of the normal planning process. There WILL be a moment when using technology to solve a problem actually becomes the problem itself. For example, the first time that I used dropitto.me, I failed to realize the importance of a standard naming convention. As a result, ⅓ of the students assignments were lost. Oops!
some great discussion~ AHA moment....a majority of the students were using their devices responsibly!! Change from fear of kids using devices wrong to creating responsible use guidelines = TRUST. I like their poster....your thoughts?
Paul is a Bozeman Biology Teacher. He talks about what learning should be like. Do you need to go as extreme as he did? maybe not...but it should get you thinking.
