ExitTicket | exit tickets | classroom student response system | clickers classroom poll... - 0 views

  • ExitTicket is an interactive, real-time, "exit ticket" style classroom question and feedback system designed to accelerate student and teacher performance. No more paper exit slips to sort and categorize. Instead, Exit Ticket runs on all smartphones and tablets, enabling students and teachers to get real time feedback on their thinking at any time during the class. Teachers efficiently pull from a library of questions or create their own on-the-fly "Quickets!" to enhance learning and differentiation in their lessons. Students engage with and track their own learning in cutting-edge fashion, taking ownership of and buying into their education like never before. Whether checking for understanding, quizzing or polling, ExitTicket enables both student and teacher to target their efforts to maximize the classroom learning experience.

PicView iPad App Lets You Add Voice Tags To Your Pictures - 0 views

  • PicView’s iPad app lets you add voice tags and annotations to pictures to tell your story
  • PicView is a new, free iOS app that enables users to add voice tags and annotations to images, videos and business applications. We’re giving it an early review, as the app is only available for iPad and supports only photos for the time being. The app lets you take or upload an iPad picture and subsequently add voice annotations to them using a simple recorder, with the added ability of being able to pinpoint specific parts of an image with a short animation (called ‘Trackers’).

Education Week Teacher: Redefining Instruction With Technology: Five Essential Steps - 1 views

  • First, I had to learn a hard lesson: Just bringing new technology in your classroom and working it into day-to-day routines isn’t enough. The iPads arrived two days before my students, and I quickly made plans to integrate them into our curriculum. Despite my high hopes, the next two months were less than successful. A casual observer would have witnessed a sea of students glued to glistening tablets, but the effects were superficial. The iPads were not helping my students make substantial progress toward self-efficacy, academic achievement, or social-emotional growth. Around the end of September, I took a step back—it was time to evaluate and reflect on what was happening. I asked myself: "What have we been doing so far with this technology?" Students used math apps instead of math card games. They’d made slideshow presentations for isolated units. They’d done some research on the Internet. In short, things were going ... OK. Nothing to write home about. Not what I would consider "worthy" of a $20,000 grant. Clearly it was time for a change. The problem, I began to realize, was my own understanding of how the iPads should be utilized in the classroom. I had seen them as a supplement to my pre-existing curriculum, trying to fit them into the structure of what I’d always done. This was the wrong approach: To truly change how my classroom worked, I needed a technology-based redefinition of my practice.

    Fab read. I've only highlighted a few paragraphs... then it goes into concrete ways to improve tech integration using the example of the iPad. ---- "n: Just bringing new technology in your classroom and working it into day-to-day routines isn't enough.
