    Tablets' potential for learning, as seen by apple. Thoughts?
  •  
    I personally see a lot of potential for the use of tablets in education, but I find it interesting that Apple is heavily promoting the ipad for educational uses on its web site, but doesn't offer the educational discount for the iPad.

    CHANDLER, Ariz. - Amy Furman, a seventh-grade English teacher here, roams among 31 students sitting at their desks or in clumps on the floor.

To hear from more experts, and to share your own predictions for the future of technology in the classroom, visit the Bits blog.

      This site reminds me of the many blogs, websites, wikis, Mindmeister Mind Maps, etc. that overwhelm the viewer with possibilities. It doesn't appear to me that anyone could be an expert on so many technologies or even the landscape of how many exist. I spent a lot of time exploring an extraordinary number of great ideas but inevitably I feel like I can only skim the surface of this information if I want to keep up wih the volume. I'm supposed to be teaching kids how to do close, deep reading. The more I engage in this technology skimming the more I feel like a phony in that particular aspect of my teaching.

    Over 7,000 students in Miami-Dade County Public Schools are enrolled in virtual classrooms, or e-learning labs. Core subjects are taken on computers, and instead of a teacher, there is a "facilitator" in the room who makes sure the students are actually doing their work. The facilitator also gives tech help.

    This site is an invaluable collection of Web 2.0 Tools for educators. On this Wikispace are links to free sites that provide teachers with some exciting and engaging tools. It is now possible to easily create SMS-based real-time responses to discussion questions, allow students to easily create Flash-based cartoons and Flash-based online posters with a ton of functionality, and even create beats online that they can then record text over (perfect for my "Romeo and Juilet Rap" assignment). Links to all of these tools and more are available from this site.
