Newton Public Schools Technology Newsletter - 6 views

  •  
    This is a new publication that Newton has come out with highlighting the use of technology and ways in which it is seeking to create 21st century learners. Is has some nice articles and some descriptions of how certain technology is used in the classroom. I thought it might be interesting for us to look at how another district is tackling the same issues we are.

Social Bookmarking in Education with Diigo - 1 views

  • if you install the Diigo toolbar, or toolbar button, you have the ability to highlight text and pictures in a variety of colors, or add sticky notes to a bookmarked page. With this feature you can annotate web pages with thoughts, ideas or additional information. All these notes are saved for the next time you access the saved bookmark, and anyone else you share the bookmark with, (students or teachers), will also see your annotations. It is a great way to focus attention on a large article.

      I've used the highlighting tool with 3rd graders. I highlighted the area that contained the information I wanted them to find.
  • Your Diigo bookmarks can be public, or private, and there are numerous options for sharing with individuals, groups
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • With Diigo Educator accounts, the privacy settings, by default, limit communication to that of classmates and teachers only. Lastly, students in the same class are automatically set up as a group, so all saved bookmarks can instantly be shared with peers
  • The real bonus of using social bookmarking with your class is the ease that you can work on project based learning tasks.
  • Bookmarks can be organized within group to cover several different projects, and the chance to archive for next year's class is a great time saver for teachers.

iOS 6 update bonuses for education ( not for tech heads) - 0 views

  • Finally, we can upload photos and videos from the camera roll on the iPad onto websites.
  • Sadly, you can only upload photos and videos. You still can’t upload documents, but it is a big improvement in the workflow.
  • Now that updating apps no longer need passwords, I can rely on the other teachers to do the updates themselves.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • read this article that explains tbe benefits of Guided Access for special needs students like those with autism and also to prevent cheating. 
  • iOS6 also allows you to enable Guided Access which can lock an app on the screen and turn off the home button as well as other features. This could offer lots of potential for making the iPad more usable in the classroom
  • I also love the fact that in Spotlight you can see the folder in which an app resides! YEA!
