Around the Corner-MGuhlin.org: @Readdle Documents - Replaces 4 Must-have #iPad apps - 1 views

  • little about Readdle Documents, which launched a new version today that is FREE (no cost) and if you haven't installed it yet, why haven't you?!? Today we are launching a new application – Documents. It is a robust document reader, media player and file manager for iPad.Why should you install Documents on your iPad?The application is super useful. A child could use it, but is can do so much, that we have a 20-page guide to cover everything. With all this power, Documents is completely free (with no ads or in-app purchases).The ultimate goal was to create an app that everyone will use. It had to be elegant, easy to use and powerful.

  •  Documents app, gets out of the way and offers functionality in a beautiful package. 3 Gone: FlexPlayer - This is one of those must-have video viewing apps but I was thrilled to see that Documents provides for full-screen video playback on MP4, m4v video formats, although not AVI or FLV. Playback is great and makes 4 Gone: Stanza

    This App GETS a REVAMP and looks like it will be a huge workflow solution.

Author Interview: Susan Spencer-Wendel, Author Of 'Until I Say Goodbye' : NPR - 0 views

    Awoke to an NPR interview of a most remarkable woman telling her story of living with Lou Gehrig's disease. With considerable assistance of her husband during this interview, who must translate her strained speech, I learned how she wrote a book using an iPhone (or iPod) with the use of one thumb only. Compelling, inspiring. Grateful for my life and limbs today, going out for an invigorating ski and thinking of her.  Apologies to Frank, an English teacher, for the disjointed sentence starting with "with considerable assistance....., needs editing.

K-12 Horizon Report - 0 views

  •  
    An exploration of learning using mobile devices would not be complete without reading the most current Horizon Report.  One of my very favorite pull out concepts from the report is something tech integrators say over and over - "Digital literacy is less about tools and more about thinking". The Horizon Reports lays out a good case for mobile tools and personalized learning. A must read.

Bloom's Taxonomy and iPad Apps | Langwitches Blog - 0 views

  •  
    This article is a must read for me because it contains so many resources in one blog. I also like blogs because they come from real people, like teachers, who are actually living and working with these apps everyday. I relate well to Bloom's Taxonomy and I like the comparisons the blogger makes between apps and Blooms. Its a great tool to keep as a reference. If we really want to be transforming learning with mobile tools this is a great way to start thinking about it in the simplest of ways.

Middle schoolers create eBook - 0 views

  •  
    I would post this news article on a must-read list for transforming learning with mobile devices because it is not only a real-life example, it is a success story of young students learning and teaching with mobile devices. When I read it, I felt inspired by their creativity and ability to share their learning with over 400 people. I think many teachers would love to see their students producing material not only for the classroom, but available to anyone in the world.

13 Predictions (+1 More) for Mobile and Mobile Learning in 2013: Float Mobile Learning - 0 views

  • The year 2013 will see more companies embrace mobile applications, a wider uptake in mobile learning among the general public, and shifts in what kinds of content and how that content will be delivered to mobile devices
  • Quantified self becomes “mainstream,” according to Chad. Nike FuelBand, Jawbone Up and Fitbit Ultra are all out and widely available. They haven’t, however, made into the mainstream consciousness. These cool life trackers are still very much an early-adopter tech-geek toy or novelty. One of these devices will emerge in 2013 as a real winner here. It may be a combination of pricing, integration with devices or software, or perhaps just a really slick marketing campaign, but one of these devices or a new one will become a “must have” accessory for fitness-minded individuals. Some opportunities for partnerships with health care payers or maybe weight loss programs could also help propel this type of personal gamification into the everyday space.
  •  
    This article was of interest because most predictions are conjecture - the mobile market is growing no doubt, but how and what consumers are going to do with these devices is of real interest. As the mobile market grows, the personal computer market is shrinking

  • that they have also gained greater understanding, reflected on their learning, and mastered content?
  • Evernote provides one possible solution to the challenge. The ability to sync across multiple devices, email directly to a notebook, include photos and audio recordings in notes, and share notes, makes Evernote a powerful assessment and portfolio tool. Teachers can create one notebook per student and then curate their projects by taking photos of physical assignments, sharing digital ones via email to the student’s notebook, recording students’ thoughts and reflections with audio, and typing additional notes for assessment purposes, to create a robust portfolio for each child. These student notebooks could then be shared with colleagues, peers, or parents.

    Curation and collecting tools for eportfolio. especially helpful if you are using mobile tools to create eportfolios.
