    "The Valparaiso University College of Engineering has released a new digital magazine for the iPad, which will connect the college to many constituents through an interactive digital community." iPads are not only used for education, but for interaction throughout the classroom- or campus, as it may be.

    South Koreans realize that technology doesn't always bring progress. Not going as ebook as planned according to this washington post article. "But South Korea, among the world's most wired nations, has also seen its plan to digitize elementary, middle and high school classrooms by 2015 collide with a trend it didn't anticipate: Education leaders here worry that digital devices are too pervasive and that this young generation of tablet-carrying, smartphone-obsessed students might benefit from less exposure to gadgets, not more. Those concerns have caused South Korea to pin back the ambition of the project, which is in a trial stage at about 50 schools. Now, the full rollout won't be a revolution: Classes will use digital textbooks alongside paper textbooks, not instead of them. First- and second-graders, government officials say, probably won't use the gadgets at all."

  • 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.

  • But for ancillary materials—all of the research and items that go with the textbook—students prefer digital,"
  • Hall recalls this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where he had to meet with employees and be accessible to clients on the trade room floor. He had a case study to read, but an open laptop would have been rude and standoffish, he says.
  • Although students could take notes, highlight, and use a dictionary function, some said they were frustrated by the Kindle’s file management system and by an inability to easily skip back and forth between text and exhibits at the end. That’s a far bigger problem when dealing with dozens of case studies—which have numerous exhibits—than with a handful of text books.

    "Everything in our world is being digitized (or will be) and it makes sense for text  books to be able to be updated in real time (any time) at a cost that is virtually free rather than the investment it takes to republish and distribute millions of books every few years." This article discusses the use of iPads in the classroom and how they should be replacing textbooks. Since ipads are gesture based, they will be a great addition to a classroom.

    Ray Chambers is a UK teacher doing some fascinating things with Microsoft products like Kinect and Microsoft Tag. I love this lesson plan that links with literacy, creative writing, digital citizenship. You can do this lesson yourself to see how it works. (Another great lesson plan I found on the TES site. A very global site for sharing and finding resources.)

      Starting out how tablets are so easy to use instead of sifting through 500 pages to find case studies and course materials
  • Next, Okun unsheathes the alternative: an iPad (AAPL) edition of the same course materials—a feature NYU introduced last year. In each digital case study, students can highlight material in fluorescent colors and take notes. A tap on the screen allows them to skip to an exhibit at the end of a document, and then follow the menu back to where they left off reading—with no virtual or actual page-leafing required. All the features work offline.
  • Over the ensuing 87 years, the case study has undergone some changes but remains much as it was at its inception—a straightforward narrative of business success or failure. Tablet technology may make the case study more of an interactive experience.

  • arvard Business School, the largest publisher of case studies in North America, is in the process of converting 3,500 of its files to tablet-enhanced formats during this school year and expects to finish converting its library of 17,000 titles by 2013.
  • The tablet medium also seems ideal for simulated cases, says Glenn Rowe, a professor at the Ivey school and author of nearly 40 case studies. In role-playing exercises, prices and other variables can change on the fly. Students may also be smacked with unexpected events, such as their biggest competitor slashing prices, or by their receiving a higher-than-expected counterbid after a merger proposal. Students choose what they would do, and the simulation immediately tells them the consequence of that action.

      Real world scenarios for the students to learn on  
  • Students are also more inclined to use tablets for supplemental reading. (Assuming prices are the same, 86 percent of college students say they prefer a hard copy textbook to an e-textbook, according to the market research firm Student Monitor.)

  • Unlike smartphones and laptops, which replaced analog phones, typewriters, and filing cabinets, the tablet is pure digital abstraction -- the love-child of two digital devices
  • The answer is that our current digital ecosystem of smartphone + laptop doesn’t really fill our needs. Our phones aren’t good at making phone calls, and our laptops don’t share well. Both cost a lot but use only a fraction of their features. So much has changed since these platforms were originally defined that it’s time for a major re-adjustment, and the tablet is the first step. It’s the tip of the iceberg.
  • The tablet’s greatest impact on the technology ecosystem was in pointing out this weakness
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • . Tasks that had been split between two devices can be distributed among three.
  • So what happens next? As a result of the tablet, your smartphone is going to get a bit dumber. It won’t lose all of its functions, but most ancillary features will drop deeper back in the user interface, bringing the two killer apps of phone and camera to the surface.
