  • 5 Apps Being Used in the Classroom Right Now Published 21 July, 2011 Multimedia & Digital 8 Comments Tags: Apps, Blackboard Mobile Learn, byki, Classroom, Dictionary.com, Digital, Mobile apps, Motion Math, Multimedia, Sarah Fudin, World Wiki tweetmeme_url = 'http://oupeltglobalblog.com/2011/07/21/5-apps-being-used-in-the-classroom-right-now/'; tweetmeme_alias = 'http://wp.me/pLaO9-LP'; tweetmeme_source = '”OUPELTGlobal”'; In this post, Sarah Fudin, a community relations coordinator for the University of Southern California’s online Masters Degree in Teaching program, shares 5 mobile apps that teachers are already using in the classroom to aid learning. Apple’s catchy tagline — “There’s an app for that” — is proving to be true in today’s classroom. Educational apps that are well designed and highly interactive engage students and make learning more enjoyable. A quick online survey shows that there are hundreds of apps available for every educational level, from pre-Kindergarten to college. Many schools are putting iPads into the hands of students in the classroom. Even in classrooms where only the teacher has an iPad, Apple’s Video Mirroring technology allows the screen image from an iPad to be shared with the class via a projection screen or HDTV. Here are five extraordinarily useful Apple and Android apps that are being used in classrooms across the country right now:
  • This Apple app provides quick access to detailed information about more than 200 countries around the globe. According to Macworld, World Wiki uses data from the official CIA World Factbook. Country data includes maps, flags, native language, motto and national statistics, with more detailed information about a country’s government, economy and geography also available. World Wiki’s presentation and depth of information make it a useful tool for teachers and students of all educational levels, with particularly innovative applications in the ESL / TESOL teacher’s classroom, where bridging the cultural gap may sometimes be challenging.
  • No roundup of educational apps would be complete without mentioning this app, which is listed as the #1 app for students by U.S. News & World Report. Over 1 million words from Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com are included in this app, along with audio pronunciation, word origins and example sentences. The app can be downloaded free of charge for iPhone, iPad, Android and Blackberry devices and conveniently works without an Internet connection. As technology continues to advance and become even more ubiquitous, permeating our everyday lives and routines, it is certain that the classroom of the future will also become more high-tech. The apps being used by teachers and students today are only the latest wave of the digital revolution sweeping over education. As the processes and programs currently available are advanced and refined, technology will offer teachers and students even better ways to work, to connect and, of course, to learn.

  • Analytics marries large data sets, statistical techniques, and predictive modeling. It could be thought of as the practice of mining institutional data to produce "actionable intelligence."
    • Tess T
      Tess T on 12 Mar 12
       
      so pretty much its saying gathering data, looking at the results, and doing something about it. Taking action
  • Many institutions have implemented analytics to improve enrollment management. Institutional researchers collaborating with admissions staff have created complex formulas—based on standardized exam scores, high school coursework, and other information—to determine which applicants will be admitted
  • With the increased concern for accountability, academic analytics has the potential to create actionable intelligence to improve teaching, learning, and student success. Traditionally academic systems—such as course management systems, student response systems, and similar tools—have generated a wide array of data that may relate to student effort and success. Early academic analytics initiatives are seeking to predict which students are in academic difficulty, allowing faculty and advisors to customize learning paths or provide instruction tailored to specific learning needs.

      For those of us doing customization as a topic, the key phrase in this paragraph is "allowing faculty and advisers to customize learning paths or provide instruction tailored to specific learning needs."

  • Analytics generates a system alert for advisors to initiate an Individual Learning Plan (ILP)
  • Analytics can be a powerful tool for higher education
  • As the practice of analytics is refined, colleges and universities can place more and better information into the hands of a greater number of people, enabling informed decision-making.
  • the focus of future analytics efforts can shift from predicting who is going to be successful to customizing learning environments so that the most effective instructional approaches are used for each student. Eventually, institutions may be able to provide unique learning paths, matching instructional activities to a student's learning needs.

      and it talks about how using learning analytics can help institutions customize unique learning activities to a students learning needs.

    This artical is good in explaining what learn analytics is and how it is used in a process. It says that learning analytics is to observe and understand learning behaviors in order to make a change. It starts as data collection. This is different methods and scripts to collect data. Then the data is analyzed. After that the supposedly find something to improve learning. After this they introduce this the the education system to get approval of use. And the last step is intervention where the new method starts or is in development to be integrated in the education for students.
