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

  • 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.

Khan Critiques: We Were Promised Jetpacks & Got Lectures - EdTech Researcher - Educatio... - 0 views

  • I do think it's incredibly important to engage this question of whether or not Khan Academy constitutes a revolution in math education, because it's a powerful case for asking one of the fundamental questions in education today: should we be using technology to do old things more efficiently, or to do new things? A lot of the fawning media coverage of Khan Academy doesn't necessarily advance this discussion

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!
