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

Frank Shared this amazing article that will inform our work in this class in future weeks.

Here is a tutorial that shows you how to use AirServer to create a tutorial on your computer of what is showing on your iPad.

there are two computer programs (apps) that do the mirroring (Reflector App and Air Server) I have used both. It depends a lot on your hardware and your network. Some public networks do not allow this to work, but most home networks will

I quote from the article one of the most salient features/best uses. "What distinguishes Izik is a search tool known as slashtags. This feature enables users What distinguishes Blekko is a search tool known as slashtags. This feature enables users to refine results and build curated collections of select Web pages and then search and share those resources with others. So create a collection of Web resources, then share the slashtag with students, suggests Price. "Now, the only sites they'll be searching are the ones you've selected," he writes.to refine results and build curated collections of select Web pages and then search and share those resources with others. So create a collection of Web resources, then share the slashtag with students, suggests Price. "Now, the only sites they'll be searching are the ones you've selected," he writes." I would be curious as to what you think of this. It's very visual, but has a trendy, pop, "People's Magazine" to it. I searched something and wanted solid results, but couldn't find a source. I wouldn't accept Izik as a source. Started out looking good to me, but having second thought.

I love this, "Students should bring "raw materials for tinkering." TINKERING! Yay!

This is a 360 degree viewpoint of The Maker Movement inspiring a reemergence and metamorphosis of art and STEM in the classroom. The focus of learning can be on inventiveness and creativity rather than being so heavily on standardized testing that is devoid of engagement. Mobile learning is a part of this movement. This is of high interest to me because I think it will give our culture a positive new energy that will uplift our economy and increase production. This will be production not focused on consumerism but production grounded in meaning. The future needs people that can create solutions to world problems.

"Published by Eric Sailers *Disclosure: I co-created ArtikPix, PhonoPix and Percentally apps. Large list of apps for ed including special ed. This is a list of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch apps for education and special education. Each app in the list..." I think it would take some time to really review all of these, but good to have as a resource!

Pin board created to collect ipad/android apps. One that caught my eye was "conversation builder teen".

From playing to creating games on my iPad

"To those asking for educational apps to use on their Android, here is a great listly list created by Jeff and includes some of the most popular Abdroid apps for teachers and educators. Check it out below and let us know what you think of it. Enjoy"

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.

"Everything you need to create your own digital publications - for free!" Also figures, tables and examples can be displayed with all references being automatically renumbered if you move them, MP3 audio files and YouTube videos can be embedded, you can add bookmarks (by clicking on a heading and once again on the star icon that appears), and do a lot more besides. But, most importantly, the eML Reader application has been written using cross-browser JavaScript, so it functions on all major platforms and web browsers, including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux-and it runs very well on the Apple iPad, Iphone, and iPod Touch, and on Google Android devices too.

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

I found David's Characteristics of Communication over FM Radio vs. Mobile Phones Table to be very enlightening. He really managed to distill the powerful differences between broadcasting information and collaboratively creating information. It clearly shines a light on the limitations of traditional, lecture-based learning and the flexibility of mobile learning.

"There are three competing visions of educational computing." reports Gary Stager in this sharp analysis. The actor is the system, the teacher or the student. Guess which vision he advocates.

This article is interesting to me because I believe that access to information cannot be device-specific. Making information or communication reliant on a specific format limits the ability to interact on a truly global platform. Imagine the missed opportunities and conversations that would ensue if iPad owners were able to communicate with only people who have Apple devices. The same holds true for Google and Android, Microsoft, or any other current or emerging platform or system. As I've mentioned in other posts, and will most likely mention again: it's not about the device.

"My iPhone is my communications device. It's what I use for calls, messages and social media. I have no intention of moving these from my phone to my iPad, so I should modify my setup accordingly. Here's what I've done:" good ideas on prioritizing apps between devices
