Leadership for Mobile Learning; A Guide for Administrators - 0 views
-
"In the face of the "new normal" of decreased budgets and increased expectations, many administrators are turning to technology to enhance teaching and learning while mitigating the consequences of consecutive years of budget cuts. Mobile learning, in particular, has attracted a great deal of attention for its potential to engage students by leveraging the technology environment they have grown accustomed to in their non-school lives; its potential to scale personalized learning and reduce the digital divide; its potential to extend learning beyond the four walls of the classroom and the limited hours of the school day; and its potential to enable new pedagogies based on the affordances of these devices that students already carry at their fingertips.Still, the field of mobile learning is still emerging and there are many questions to be addressed when contemplating a mobile learning implementation. How do we create a program with a sustainable impact on teaching and learning, rather than a superficial adoption of the currently "hot" technology? What are the steps involved in implementing a mobile learning program? How do we optimize the investment of our technology dollars? How do we choose devices, networks, and software for our implementation? What are the security considerations in implementing a mobile learning program? What are the policy considerations for a mobile learning program? What are the professional development considerations? What are the teaching models associated with mobile learning? What are the options for funding a mobile learning program?"

China Real: What counterfeits can teach us... Kevin Honeycutt - 3 views

On my recent trip to Shanghai China for the Learning 2.011 conference I was struck but so much that the experience will likely feed my thinking for the rest of my life. The conference is a bringing together of international school teachers, led by some of the most stellar educational minds of our time. The cohort leaders at this events lead with kindness, expertise and amazing resumes in the forms of blogs, podcasts, books and proven thought leadership in multiple realms. It was in this rarified company that I was given time and opportunity to go out and explore China as a pedestrian learner.

I am a teacher from just north of Calgary, Canada. My joy (aside from my wonderful family) is creating opportunities for students and teachers to learn in engaging and creative ways.
