We are no longer producing a simple report. Information that would original have been compiled by an individual could now involve many contributors; collaborating in real time on the same document. An example might be to use a public document on Google Docs allowing for instant global collaboration on the project. The project could include photographs, graphics, even video, added from many different devices. Spreadsheet calculations will cascade through a document and be available for all decision makers in a moment. Immediately the task has seen the removal of multiple steps, and many more users are viewing and editing the document, increasing communication, accuracy, and productivity.
Karen Trenosky on 01 Apr 13This article is a must read for me because it contains so many resources in one blog. I also like blogs because they come from real people, like teachers, who are actually living and working with these apps everyday. I relate well to Bloom's Taxonomy and I like the comparisons the blogger makes between apps and Blooms. Its a great tool to keep as a reference. If we really want to be transforming learning with mobile tools this is a great way to start thinking about it in the simplest of ways.
