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).

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 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.
