AUSTIN, Texas, March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- GetYa Learn On, LLC - an educational software company that created the innovative application called "Statistics I" - today released empirical findings from a pilot study conducted during the Fall semester of 2009 at Abilene Christian University (ACU). Students in an introductory Statistics class were given the new iPhone application which was used to supplement the instructor's lectures and for studying and test preparation. Statistics I is based on a rich Mobile Learning Platform™ that includes lessons, touch-screen simulations, calculators, decision making tools, quizzes, flashcards, formulas, and a glossary. The Statistics I app has been converted into an iPad E-Textbook and is under review for the grand opening of the iPad App Store.

If students wish to contact the writers of this report - have their teacher talk to Mrs. Davis - I have their email!

Customization!! The user of this technology no longer has to settle for two-dimention diagrams or not having enough information at hand. Each individual is able to use AR to help them better learn and understand. They can choose what works best for them, manipulating diagrams and performing virtual

procedures in order to customize their learning. They are customizing their own learning because they are given additional options and opportunities to learn more instead of only guided to follow the specific teaching technique of the teacher(which not always works for each student).

Each student is able to view different angles of each diagram when they feel they need more help understanding what it is about, or performing a procedure multiple times from multiple angles when more practice is needed.

Researchers are offering an open source code that allows the learning platform Moodle to be accessed with the iPhone. This code enables people worldwide to follow continuing medical education modules wherever and whenever they want. Starting today the demo site is open to all. The open source code will be made available after the demo phase." id="metasummary

International approach to open online learning

This video shows how good visual data can improve learning

My ninth graders have completed a module documenting how to do various tasks in OpenSim, the virtual world we use that is hosted by Reactiongrid. This wiki has the links, instructions, and other pages with tutorials on how to do various items. I was assessing this today and thought I'd pass it along as there is some great information to show you how to do things. (If you are a beginning second lifer you may also learn some things.)

This is an example of how students can create content for the purposes of education.

QR codes are here and they are going mainstream. MR Robbo the PE geek, myself and others are using these IN CLASS and they are useful ways of augmenting reality. Time to learn because people are going to be talking!

This site depicts how visual data can help to learn so much. Diagrams are shown, through a searchable site on any topic.

"You're learning about your data through visualization and interaction," said Halle. "You can take all the data, selectively filter it, and look at it in a different way."

Students can learn on Facebook if their teacher has a site

For entertainment in the classroom

This listing of resources covers Visual Analysis. Visual analysis "blends highly advanced computational methods with sophisticated graphics engines to tap the extraordinary ability of humans to see patterns and structure in visuals."

Lots of resources from Tony Vincent. This page focuses on the many things you can do with an itouch in the classroom.

This video shows how to use itouch and google docs for a classroom. (I prefer polleverywhere for this.) This video demonstrates how to do this.

Harnessing itouches as an inexpensive way to use a voting system in the classroom. Thsi video shows you how.
