Objective: Demonstrate what you have learned throughout this class. Consider the Google Zeitgeist 2011 video we watched prior to break. It should work as a demonstration of what you learned as opposed to a retelling of applications and ideas you learned.
NOTE: I'm not looking for a PowerPoint presentation.
Requirements: Creatively show what you have learned from the course.
You may want to demonstrate how you will use these skills in the future.
You may want to highlight one application or multiple applications that appeal to you.
You may want to present on a specific subject such as digital health and wellness, digital identity, social media, privacy or creative commons.
You may want to create something entirely new using the applications and ideas you gleaned from this course.
You may want to create a movie trailer for this course.
You may want to create a documentary about this course.
Or, you may want to do something completely different.
Grading: You will be graded on your ability to clearly demonstrate to an audience your learning over the past few weeks. I will be looking for the following items in your final work:
Creativity
Engagement
Understanding
Proficiency
Presentation
Participation (in class)
Examples:

What can you do with an iPad in the classroom? « syded - 11 views

"The iPad is not going to replace teachers or 'fix' education. There is a cost implication that must be taken into account and only an educator will know if it is right for their students. Indeed the cost-benefit analysis for an establishment must take into account a host of factors when considering iPad use in the classroom. However, if there are iPads in the classroom, there are a number of applications that can enhance learning and assist the educator in developing student skills. In fact, the iPad allows educators to build on existing styles and increase flexibility in their classroom whilst personalising learning."

Six Examples of iPad Integration in the 1:1 Classroom | Edutopia - 1 views

"At Burlington High School in Burlington, MA, we are entering our eighth month of a 1:1 iPad initiative that began in September 2011. Don't get me wrong, we think the iPad is a great device for learning and gives each of our students a dynamic learning tool that can be used across the content areas and to accomplish a variety of tasks. Many of the critics claim that we are backing our students into a corner by giving them one brand and one skill set to learn exclusively on one device. This is not the case at Burlington. Furthermore, I have support. "

"Using personal iPhones and iPads in the office leads many people to work from them while on vacation. Our iPhones and iPads, which enable us to work and be on call virtually anywhere at any time, will lead to more than half of us working while on vacation. That's the result of a new study that looked at how technology impacts the work/life balance. iOS devices are common players in the bring your own device (BYOD) era. As BYOD programs lead many of us to use our personal iOS devices and other mobile technology for work-related tasks, they also encourage an "always on" attitude from employers and employees alike."
