  • 50 resources for iPad use in the classroom By Charlie Osborne | May 3, 2012, 6:00am PDT The transition to the more extensive use of technology in classrooms across the West has resulted in the integration of bring your own device (BYOD) schemes, equipping students with netbooks and tablet computers, and lessons that use social media & online services. Gesture-based technology is on the rise; according to the latest NMC Horizon Report, gesture-based technological models will become more readily integrated as a method of learning within the next few years. The iPhone, iPad, Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect technology are examples of these kinds of developments, and in particular, resources for Apple products in education are becoming widely available online. For teachers, some of which are just beginning to use tablets and mobile devices in class, these resources can be invaluable in promoting more interactive classrooms and understanding how best to use and control such products. Below is a collection of tutorials, lesson plans and applications for educators to utilize.

      This article resonates with me because it serves to remind us that measuring the benefits of using mobile devices with ESL learners, is a difficult thing to measure.  That said, it therefore serves as a double reminder that we must make sure we take the time to design well thought-out lesson plans involving mlearning, or the benefits might not be reaped by those we are teaching. 
  • benefits it will have had on their language development or teaching skills are harder to measure
  • elatively little critical attention paid to how the outcomes of many projects are measured and reported.

  • common message: this is a medium that can bridge educational and digital divides.
  • the monitoring and evaluation design does not appear to include a control group, but rather focuses on English language competency of only the participants at the beginning of the year compared with the end.
  • The excitement surrounding the variety of m-learning projects is well-deserved, but there is clearly much to learn about how far teaching and learning English using the medium can benefit those in developing countries. As Traxler says, "Brilliant and exemplary work is being done on the ground by people using mobiles to deliver and enhance learning to distant and disadvantaged communities. Our problem is more to do with how badly we try to explain it, think about it, reason about it, learn from it, generalise from it and evaluate it."

      Multiple Shifts.  Assessment advances are just one of six shifts that most American schools will experience in this decade: Print to digital Flat & sequential to engaging & adaptive experiences Annual tests to instant feedback Cohorts to individual progress Individual teacher practice to teams School as place to learning as blended services With improved access and more powerful tools, assessment is undergoing four shifts: Periodic to continuous: all day long not just end of unit/year Foreground to background: most assessment will be embedded within learning experiences, produced products, and observed behaviors Artificial to authentic: simulations and real work products rather than bubble sheets Heavyweight to lightweight: when every student has a huge standards-based gradebook, a simple sample will sufficient for summative assessment
