    very cool new storytelling app. easy to use. easy to insert images, text, video. can search Google image from within the app. can UPDATE the story and keep the orignal url (huge!). drawback is that sharing via url (and facebook and twitter) are the only options - no epub, pdf, etc.

    This is a new concept for a search engine that combines a concept map, web sites, images, videos and more in an easy to use format that you can adjust for grade level. I am going to try using it with 2nd grade when we do our continents project.

  • 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!

    i haven't heard of the Personalized Learning" movement before. Interesting. "10. Personal Learning Plans: A new law in Vermont calls for every student in grades 7-12 to create, with adult help, a personal learning plan based on that student's interests and ambitions. The so-called PLP must include not just a list of courses leading to a job or career, but also experiences outside a school setting."

    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.

    Would they work on Eno boards in the middle school?

    Yes Ellen - once a ActivInspire - a new, but free software is installed on teacher laptops this summer. It is fully compatible with the Eno boards in the middle school.

khanacademy flippedclassroom math pedagogy

shared by Mark McDonough on 01 Sep 12 - No Cached
  • 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
