      I don't agree with this 100%. I for example, I have sloppy handwriting, but for some reason it is much better on an electronic device than on paper. I can use a lighter touch, my hand doesn't get cramped as easily, and it is just a more pleasant experience. I think some kids have the same issues as I do, and giving them a more pleasurable way to express their ideas can be beneficial.

    Very accessible language that can be used in our discussion of 'transformation" The author pushes us to go beyond drill, practice, and be more mindful ofhow we are using technology.

    the author gives us some very accessible language and examples of using technology well. Applied to mobile tools, could this help us add to our definition of transforming language

    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.

    This whole week I'v tried to find an article I thought would best show the transformation of learning through mobile tools, but I kept going back to the idea that it's not about the technology it's about learning. As I pondered with the idea of how to do we help people understand this concept, and I keep thinking that it needs to be a change in pedagogy. I came across this diagram that would help support this idea of learning and what 21st century pedagogy looks like. Although it is kind of broad, I can easily see where mobile technology fits in and how it could support the transformation of learning. I feel like we need to have this kind of vision in order to understand how the technologies will transform the learning.

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.

  • Young people communicate differently based on today's technology.
  • Discipline issues nearly vanish:
  • Whether schools will allow ad-supported technology in the classroom remains to be seen.
  • ebook learning experience can be enjoyed anywhere for free.
  • The iSchool Initiative estimates each $150 iPod touch would save at least $600 per student per year.
  • Any notes she made on any platform would be saved automatically. This content and extra portability cost the student and the school nothing.

    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).

    Librarians have been called by many titles but this article pens a new one to me - innobrarian. It might grow on me, or not. Reflect on the degree to which you and you librarian might be on the same page as change agents in your setting. Here is the direct quote from the article ;Not only can we be innovators ourselves, but in doing so, we can support the dreamers, the players, and the innovators in the building, both students and teachers. We can help them embrace their creative ideas, harness them for the classroom, bring in supporting materials, and provide that open-minded partner that innovators need. Libraries can become the places to "seed" new ideas that can spread throughout our campuses. Our role provides us with tremendous flexibility to self-define what we want to be for our campuses." Note to self - figure our how to link words so that "new technologies" and "change agents" aren't separated. Yay, one task done. Whoops, how to now tag it with Mat622???

    Like Jessica I kept going back to the idea that "it's not about technology, it's about the learning." Yet after much mucking about, I kept coming back to this article which one of you introduced early in the semester. To my "pre-app developer" self, it was a real eye opener and inspiration to imagine all these topics being covered (some better than others) in this visual, graphic mode and living on one device. So in the spirit of inspiration, I offer this article as a favorite.

      This indicates a need for teachers to have a better understanding of what can be done with mobile devices.
  • Despite all the bring-your-own device buzz over the last few years, meanwhile, teachers were chillier to handhelds (smartphones and iPod touches—the devices students tend to bring to school) than other tools. While the percentage of teachers with access to such devices went up to 36 percent, from 26 percent a year ago, the tools were rated below other devices (sixth out of a list of eight, even below projectors) on "potential to enhance education."
  • In general, the survey says, teachers view technology as a "teaching tool used by teachers" rather than an "administrative tool" or a "self-learning tool used by students."

      This indicates the need to alter teachers' perception of how to engage students with technology. It's ironic that some teachers can make that connection for themselves without linking it to their students' learning experience.
