Blogging About The Web 2.0 Connected Classroom: Flipping...It's Not Just For The Classroom - 1 views

  •  
    "Faculty meetings. Someone on Twitter asked me the other day if I had any resources for making faculty meetings better. I thought about it and it dawned on me. Why not flip them. We use the same reasoning for flipping a classroom and apply it to the faculty meeting. Think about it. All the nuts and bolts stuff that is shared in a faculty meeting could be shared asynchronously via other means, freeing up the traditional faculty meeting time for other things. Not enough time for PLC meetings? Use the Faculty Flip to free up that time and allow grades and departments to meet, talk and plan. Not enough time for Professional Development? Use the Faculty Flip to have an unconference sharing session of what's working and ways to improve practice. "

Apple - Accessibility - iPad - Vision - 0 views

  • iPad Vision Hearing Physical & Motor Skills Accessibility Solutions for iPhone and iPad. You can find a variety of hardware and software products (sold separately) that adapt iPhone and iPad for specific needs. Learn more Vision iPad includes an amazing screen reader along with other innovative accessibility features that make it easier to use for those who are blind or have impaired vision. VoiceOver The same VoiceOver screen reader available on iPhone comes standard on iPad. It’s the world’s first gesture-based screen reader, and it allows you to enjoy the fun and simplicity of iPad even if you can’t see the screen. With VoiceOver, you use simple gestures to physically interact with items on the screen. Instead of memorizing key commands or repeatedly pressing arrow keys to find what you’re looking for, just touch the screen to hear an item’s description, then gesture with a double-tap, drag, or flick to control iPad. Because VoiceOver on iPad allows you to interact directly with objects, you can understand their location and context. When you touch the upper-left corner of the screen, you hear what’s in the upper-left corner of a web page. And as you drag your finger around the screen, you learn what’s nearby, providing an unprecedented sense of relationship and context. VoiceOver on iPad also gives you information about your device — including battery level, network signal level, and time of day. It even lets you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait orientation and when the screen is locked or unlocked. Adjustable speaking rate The speaking rate in VoiceOver is adjustable so you can set it to a speed that best suits you. VoiceOver uses distinctive sound effects to alert you when an application opens, when the screen is updated, when a message dialog appears, and more. And when VoiceOver is talking, the volume of background sounds and music is automatically lowered, “ducking” under the voice, so you can clearly hear what VoiceOver is telling you. It speaks your language VoiceOver includes built-in voices that speak 36 languages: Arabic Chinese (Cantonese) Chinese (China) Chinese (Taiwan) Czech Danish Dutch English (Australia) English (Britain) English (Irish) English (South African) English (United States) Finnish Flemish (Belgian Dutch) French (Canadian) French (France) German Greek Hindi Hungarian Indonesian Italian Japanese Korean Norwegian Polish Portuguese (Brazil) Portuguese (Portugal) Romanian Russian Slovak Spanish (Mexico) Spanish (Spain) Swedish Thai Turkish Getting started VoiceOver is built right into iPad so there’s nothing extra to purchase or install. All you need is the latest version of iTunes and a Mac or PC. You can activate your iPad and enable VoiceOver without sighted assistance using Setup Assistant. Sighted users can also enable VoiceOver directly on iPad using the Accessibility menu in Settings. How it works With VoiceOver enabled, you’ll use a different but simple set of gestures to control iPad. For example, instead of tapping to ac

Implementing a 1:1 iPad Scheme | Innovative Scholar - 0 views

  •  
    Teaching needs to become much more student centered, inquiry based, project based and investigative. The use of ELP (Extended Learning Projects) or CBL (Challenge Based Learning) are great ways to allow students to use mobile devices for inquiry and investigative research as well as creativity using a variety of media for presentations and multimedia.

Web 2.0/Mobile AUP Guide - 0 views

  • While they also use blocking and filtering that federal law requires, their policy is based on the premise that children need to learn how to be responsible users and that such cannot occur if the young person has no real choice. School personnel who take this stand contend that students need to acquire the skills and dispositions of responsible Internet usage and to be held accountable for their behavior.

  • a more inclusive process will result in better policy and more “buy-in” from those who are affected by the policy. Critical to the success of AUP policies is the sense of ownership of the policies by their prime target: students.

  • The law requires any school district that receives E-Rate funding to filter or block visual depictions that are obscene, that contain child pornography, or material harmful to minors. Schools are required to enforce the operation of such technology protection measures (i.e., keep the filter operating) during any use of such computers by minors. The law also requires districts to have in place a policy of Internet safety that includes the use of a filter or blocking procedure for district computers used by minors.
  • Section 215 is most relevant to schools and requires them, as part of their Internet safety policy, to educate minors about appropriate online behavior. This includes how to interact with others on social networking websites and in chat rooms as well as cyberbullying awareness and response.
  • Policies on cell phone usage vary from districts that forbid students from bringing them into the school building (such as the Student/Parent Handbook in the New Haven’s  Connecticut schools), to schools that provide for limited use, to schools which are making use of them for instructional purposes
