  • My daughter is a fifth-grader. On her teacher’s website, it says the class will have “Maker Days” once a month. Students should bring “raw materials for tinkering.”

  • 3.  REACHING STUDENTS. In Ramsey Musallam’s A.P. Chemistry class at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory in San Francisco, cell phones are a natural extension of the way he communicates with his students. As soon as kids walk in, Musallam sends out a text blast through Remind101, asking them a challenge question that’s related to the day’s lesson. “First person to tell me the units on K for a second order reaction gets chocolate,” he types and sends off. His students know he does this regularly, so they’re constantly anticipating the question during the day, in and out of class.

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

mobile mobile learning MAT622 Week2

shared by Will Bohmann on 17 Jan 13 - No Cached
  • 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

  • A recent survey explored the strategies used by postsecondary students to gather information using Internet-capable cell phones, or smartphones. Notably, users of iPhone and Android devices are beginning to use new search input tools, such as spoken keywords, geographic location, camera images, and barcode or quick-response code scans. Most of the student respondents who conducted information searches on these devices understood the need to evaluate the reliability of what they found. Even though students claim they can read on their smartphones without being distracted, the evidence shows that disruptions did occur in homework sessions and during class time.

    Published in March of 2011, this article reports on the results of a survey conducted of students at the University of Scranton on the strategies used by postsecondary students to gather information using Internet-capable cell phones, or smartphones. The article concluded: Information literacy instructors should become familiar with new search methods (such as quick response codes) to help students use them effectively and efficiently. Students should be encouraged to review a range of search results, particularly when searching for academic information. Information literacy instructors should help students understand how to evaluate information, especially when it is presented in a nontraditional form, such as a native app. Students may need assistance from educators in applying information literacy skills they have learned while searching on a laptop or desktop to the mobile environment.

Is It Really Hip to Flip? -- THE Journal - 0 views

      We need to better define what "flipping" means. We can't simply have students view video lectures to discuss later in class. This is merely substitution for discussing the previous night's reading. Reuben Puentadura's SAMR model lists substitution as only the first step in the paradigm shift we face. There are many other things that could be included with the video lesson and augmented by mobile technology that would make learning more interesting, effective, and sustaining.
  • Any technology implementation proceeds in stages. If video use is included in lesson plans, then decide if it is more appropriate to use video that is self-produced or developed by others. The decision might be influenced by your content expertise and production skills. In either case, multimedia principles for learning should be considered, including accessibility of the video content by all.

  • 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

      Thanks Frank, this was my GEM find for the day. I will use it with my eportfolio group.
  • he Google Drive app now allows for the creation of Documents, Spreadsheets, and Folders. Plus, the ability to upload photos and videos from the camera roll. WIth many PDF annotation apps such as Notability and Paperport Notes now allowing direct upload to Google Drive, the process of curating student work becomes even easier.

  • 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.

    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.

    An excellent short summary of some of the issues Ed Tech Specialists experience when working / supporting iPads and how to correct them. This article is a great PD piece to share with teachers returning from iPad workshops thinking they are now integrating technology into their classroom. It is a reminder that good class content, lesson planning and intentional tech integration are the keys to success with the iPad (or any mobile device for that matter).

      This is a handy feature. Being able to aggregate notes is a step up from just leaving them on the page where they were made. The video and article mentioned publishing for free. I presume they are referring to iPublisher (iBooks Author). What they don't mention is that each book stays with the account owner, meaning that in a school setting the book belongs to the student. Sounds good, but when the student finishes the class, he still owns the book and the school can't use it for the next student coming in. Gives the book a very short usable shelf-life.
