Introducing School-Wide Digital Citizenship Practices with iPads « EdApps.ca - 0 views

  • Introducing School-Wide Digital Citizenship Practices with iPads 8Share An elementary school in our district recently got 30 iPads and asked for some advice implementing them with students and teachers. In addition to suggesting some starter apps, I recommended that we have conversations with kids around the appropriate use of these devices. While almost every child has used an iPad, iPod Touch, or iPhone, the exciting learning opportunities these mobile, Internet-connected, media creation devices create also open the door to new challenges. Cyberbullying or inappropriate web publishing happens more through the camera than regular computer use does; the mobility of the device combined with the reality that multiple users are using the device with no personalized, password-protected, network-tracked accounts makes it more challenging to keep track of who is doing what with the device or that the device itself is safe.

wwwatanabe: Powerful Rubrics for the 21st Century Learner - 0 views

  • How do we make our rubrics less 20th Century and more 21st Century?  Focus on the evidence of learning and less on the product or the performance. Easily said, difficult to do. In fact, building a powerful 21st Century rubric to assess learning is an art. If made improperly, it could hinder the learner.

A Lesson at the Zoo: Enhancing Field Trips with iPads « EdApps.ca - 0 views

  • Some of the best experiences we give our students happen during field trips; the zoo, a museum, nature walk, etc. Mobile devices can enhance this experience by allowing for the documentation, review and reworking of the experience long after the field trip is over.

      Another very useful Teacher tool to teach History or even Science by uploading images, later you can tag different parts of the images to link out to further explanations.
  • Applications for Education Tools like Record MP3 are great for posting short reminder messages on your blog for your students to hear. If  you're going to be out of your classroom for a day, record a message with that day's directions for student and post it on your blog. Then your substitute teacher can hear the directions and your students can too and nothing gets lost in the chain of communication.

      I tried this new tool and I love it. Once you have recorded your voice, you can post it on line. Try it our Cynthia.
