    3. Education There are two opportunities for schools and universities, and the first doesn't really directly concern the latest iPad. Instead, it is the impact that the new iPad will have on the iPad 2, as the expected price reduction will make this tablet much more accessible for finance-restricted education establishments. Of course, there is also an opportunity with the new iPad for those with bigger budgets. The additional apps for movie making could make Apple's latest tablet a great tool for subjects like media studies, or in higher education, broadcast journalism training.

  • a development that astonishes some ed-tech experts since the device is less than 15 months old, and K-12 educators are traditionally slow adopters of new technology.
  • ith a battery life of eight to 10 hours and a weight of just over a pound, the iPad offers more portability and less startup time during the full school day than laptops or netbooks, while its screen size facilitates more flexibility using the Web and easier input than smartphones.
  • “Is this the best use of our funds, or is it simply a tool to engage and motivate our students?” he asks. “Of course, technology has that capability, but is that always the best angle?”
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The question may be whether the iPad is best suited as a 1-to-1 device or to be shared as part of a stable of digital classroom tools. For example, on the other side of Arlington, Jamestown Elementary School’s instructional technology coordinator, Camilla Gagliolo, has stashed the nearly 60 iPads at her school in technology cabinets across classrooms in the 550-student K-5 school. About a half-dozen sit in each cabinet, next to a similar number of netbook computers and iPod touch media players.
  • students can choose which device to use for an ongoing book-publishing project. During math in Bill Donovan’s 4th grade class, students rotate between workstations working on quick-response math exercises. Some are using math-drill apps on the iPad, iPod touches, or laptops. And some are using old-fashioned pencil and paper.

It is important to gesture based computing because it gives yet another example of how gesture technology is invading the classroom.

    this website is stating how doctors are beginning to convert to ipads instead of using the paper charts. examples; if a doctor wants to know a status about a patient, instead of going to their room to view their status on their charts, the doctors can be connected to EHR so their lab results can go straight to their ipads which can save time which is very vital for a doctor or nurse. there is even a hospital in Britain that is using ipads to relax their patients during surgery. also, ipads are now beginning to create apps so you will no longer have to fill out the clipboard and now you can do it on your app.

      The campus was dead and the tour guide shows off what normally goes on here during a busy time.
  • It is believed to be the first school to use the tablet technology in this way, though students are using iPads in class and some campuses are providing them free to freshmen. Bradley's admissions office is piloting their use, and have tested them on about 20 of 160 tours during the past 21/2 months.
  • The technology works like this: The Bradley tour guide has 10 videos on his iPad, and when he loads one during a tour, it triggers the video to play on the iPads carried by the prospective students. When videos aren't playing, a campus map is displayed on the screen

  • Ferolo's academic research looks into how people use mobile devices in their everyday lives and how the technology affects their experiences. "If people are physically here, the video content becomes more relevant to them. I believe there is a higher engagement in that tour," he said.
  • Stacy Bernstein, 17, a high school senior who was visiting Bradley from St. Louis, said the videos provided insight that she didn't get by staring at limestone buildings.

      Such a thoughtful and intelligent idea: Bringing solar powered ipads to third world countries for learning
  • 'School Box' which will take iPads to the most remote rural schools - using solar power and micro projectors we will be able to bring computerised teaching aids to the poorest schools
  • "I hope we will get the first pilot programmes started early next year. If we can get it to work in Zimbabwe, I am sure it will spread to the poor schools throughout Africa - and beyond".

    Using iPads to help students in third world countries to learn. This is such a good idea so that way the children are able to learn with apps and also can learn to read with this.

    "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.

  • Now, let’s face it, online education isn’t exactly new. Typing “online degree” into Google gets you over 58 million results. Besides the well-known University of Phoenix, there are all sorts of online degree programs that promise a convenient, high quality education. Yale and MIT have recently put many of their lectures online, and iTunes U and Academic Earth offer resources from many top schools. Last year saw an unprecedented jump of almost a million more students studying online, according to the 2010 Sloan Survey of Online Learning. What makes MAT@USC different?
  • When students enter the online “classroom” – whether on their iPad or laptop – they see a Brady Bunch style grid of live-stream video headshots of 10-12 students and the professor. During class, which is scheduled several times throughout the week, students can take notes, view slides, discuss questions on a Twitter-like chat pod, break into groups, or virtually “raise their hand” to answer a question. In other words, they can do most of the activities they would in a normal classroom. Only in this scenario, their classmates might be sitting at a desk in rural Kansas – or Japan.
  • But is something valuable lost without real face-time in a physical classroom? Some critics argue that education must be more than just interactions with a smart screen – it’s about personal connections in a social space. Sundt thinks that many of those concerns, while perhaps more relevant for K-12 education, don’t really apply to the typically much older students pursuing a higher education.

  • 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.
