5 Critical Mistakes Schools Make with iPads - 0 views

  •  
    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).

Travis's Excellent (Ereader) Adventure - The Digital Shift - 0 views

  •  
    Direct quote: "Last year, we rolled out an ereader lending program in my fifth and sixth grade school library, and I plan to share here the ups, downs, and what-to-look-out-fors we encountered along the way. We'll talk planning and implementation of the program-but first, a bit of background. Let's hop into the librarian time machine (fashioned from an old card catalog I found on Etsy) and go back to August 2011…." This article spoke clearly to me with its tongue-in-cheek, soup to nuts look at a librarian's dilemma. Clearly, the votes not in yet and might never be. What to choose, how best to manage??? A very graphic, accessible article about the challenges of selection, purchasing and management of e-readers told from a school librarian's perspective. The author strikes a balance between humor and pragmatism, offering concrete suggestions, research and strategies.

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

    • Frank Barnes
       
      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.

      "...including accessibility of the video content by all." Any kid with a smartphone will have access.

Why (and How) Teachers Should Start Using iTunes U - 2 views

  •  
    This article is a call to action for considering the vast resources in iTunes U. There is also a good link to itWeekly which includes podcasts on lesson ideas ranging from geotagging to eportofolios. I've have very little experience exploring and working with iTunes U. I plan to explore further.

Realizing Increased Student Achievement With Mobile Technologies: Here's the Plan -- TH... - 0 views

  •  
    For example, in 2010, we predicted that by 2015 each and every student in K-12 would be using a mobile device, 24/7, for curricular purposes. In 2010 that prediction seemed far-fetched, but K-12 is on course for the technology to be in place.
