How the iPhone Could Reboot Education | Gadget Lab | Wired.com - 0 views

  • How do you educate a generation of students eternally distracted by the internet, cellphones and video games? Easy. You enable them by handing out free iPhones — and then integrating the gadget into your curriculum.
  • That’s the idea Abilene Christian University has to refresh classroom learning. Located in Texas, the private university just finished its first year of a pilot program, in which 1,000 freshman students had the choice between a free iPhone or an iPod Touch.
  • Think web apps to turn in homework, look up campus maps, watch lecture podcasts and check class schedules and grades. For classroom participation, there’s even polling software for Abilene students to digitally raise their hand.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The iPhone is aiding Abilene in giving students the information they need — when they want it, wherever they want it, said Bill Rankin, a professor of medieval studies who helped plan the initiative.
  • Conversely, the problem with the internet is there’s too much information, and it’s difficult to determine which data is valuable.
  • nstead of standing in front of a classroom and talking for an hour, Rankin instructs his students to use their iPhones to look up relevant information on the fly. Then, the students can discuss the information they’ve found, and Rankin leads the dialogue by helping assess which sources are accurate and useful.
  • “Polling opens up new realms for people for discussion,” said Tyler Sutphen, an ACU sophomore who has participated in the iPhone initiative for a year. “It’s a lot more interactive for those who aren’t as willing to jump up and throw out their answer in class. Instead, you push a button on the iPhone.”

  • Giving Children the Tools is Not Enough
  • Unless classroom technology is the same in every classroom, teachers are often left trying to develop and nurture a mindset, an open ethos of approprate use in a single year.

Testamos…Panda USB Vaccine : Blog do Ciro Mota - 1 views

  •  
    A Panda USB Vacine permite proteger PCs desativando completamente as opções de execução automática (autorun.inf), impedindo que nenhum programa execute automaticamente a partir de unidades removíveis. A ferramenta funcionará mesmo que o auto-executar já esteja desativado no Windows. - Após o download, descompacte o arquivo USBVaccine.zip. - Execute o arquivo USBVaccine.exe. - Será exibida uma tela onde você deverá concordar ou negar com os termos de uso do programa. Clique em I Agree pra continuar. - A tela principal da ferramenta haverá duas opções: Computer Vaccination (Vacinar o PC como um todo). USB Driver Vaccination (Onde você poderá especificar qual drive será 'vacinado'. - Basta então escolher qual das duas opções seguir e em seguida clicar nos botões Vaccinate computer para 'vacinar' o PC e Vaccinate USB para 'vacinar' unidades de Pen-drive. OBS: Apenas a 'vacinação' do PC pode ser revertida. A 'vacinação' do Pen-drive só poderá ser desfeita formatando-o. Como Pen-drive é o maior vilão das infecções por este dispositivo atualmente, creio que esta opção seja essencial para proteção.

Where's the Innovation? | always learning - 0 views

  • technology is just an amplifier” - technology doesn’t change the quality of teaching or learning, it will only amplify it, either in a positive or negative way. What we need to be looking at is changing our approaches to learning, not modifying our curriculum to a “newer” version of what we’ve already had for the past 20 years.
