  • Instead we focus on the amazing range of consumption, curation, and creativity possible across grade levels and subjects using only four general apps: an annotation app, a screencasting app, an audio creation app, and a video creation app.
  • iPads are devices meant to compliment computers, not replace them.
  • iPads were designed as a single-user device and not meant to be shared via carts.

      This is perhaps the one biggest issue I see in schools.  We all do it - get a cart and share.  There are a host of different issues when you don't personalize the iPad - including all of the logging on of accounts.  Sometimes it can feel like more of a barrier to learning than a tool.  How do we share in a non 1-1 environment so all students succeed?

      There are tons of sources out there that are debating project vs problem based learning and the differences between the two.

    "Project-Based Learning is simply a method of structuring curriculum around projects. These projects highlight the process of learning itself by offering authentic, inquiry-based activities for learners to access content, share ideas, and revisit their own thinking."

  • employs the rotation model-students move from online learning to small groups to individual instruction
  • Our students are only on the computers for two cycles of 25 to 30 minutes at a time," says Kerr. "We thought this would strike enough balance for our students.

      I think it would be interesting to take a different piece of Blended Learning and try with different subject matters in a pilot - to really get a feel for which ones work better in different situations.
