  • 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.
  • 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.

      This is one of the most comprehensive lists I've seen of iPad resources for our classrooms.  This article resonates with me because of it's compact list of links, categorized by topics.  I am certain that I will be frequently referring back to this page.

  • The American education system, however, must proceed with great caution that this trend does not lead to a new digital divide and greater inequity among students accessing a good education.
  • South Korea has pledged that all elementary and secondary schools will be completely digital by the year 2015. The ministry of education will ensure that every student has access to a mobile device, a strong connection to the Internet, and a cloud-computing network dedicated to education.
  • School systems around the world are watching Korea, not just for its high-achievement rates, but also to see if it succeeds in being the first country to go entirely digital.

  • States are getting in the game, too. Last summer, Florida announced its goal to phase out textbooks in favor of digital learning by the year 2015. And Alabama representatives are planning to introduce the "Alabama Ahead Act" which would allow schools to purchase electronic tablets instead of textbooks
  • In a recently released study, only one out of five teachers believe they have the know-how to teach effectively with technology, despite a 91% rate of digital access.

  • big downfall of BYOD programs, he explains, is that school officials have no control over whether ­students actually will bring their devices to class:
  • expanding each school's media center hours
  • Maru Gutierrez on 06 May 12
     
    I wonder if ASF has taken any of these steps to ensure appropriate BYOD policies for next school year? Imp to have a platform so launching will be successful and all steps are in order rather than improvised.

shared by Lee Ann Seifert on 06 May 12 - No Cached
  • Flipped Classroom is an inverted method of instruction where teaching and learning take place online outside of the class while  homework is done in the classroom.
  • Advocators of this approach believe that this is the ideal method of instruction in our digital age
  • In most Flipped Classrooms, there is an active and intentional transfer of some of the information delivery to outside of the classroom with the goal of freeing up time to make better use of the face-to-face interaction in school.
