  • mix of emotions, feeling somewhere in-between, “I’m not doing enough” and “There’s so much out there, I want to try everything now!” A suggestion that Mike Pelletier aptly calls, “TBC” (Tech Baby Steps) is always a good idea

    "As with most workshops, the overwhelming influx of ideas from Alan's workshop left teachers with a mix of emotions, feeling somewhere in-between, "I'm not doing enough" and "There's so much out there, I want to try everything now!" A suggestion that Mike Pelletier aptly calls, "TBC" (Tech Baby Steps) is always a good idea. Begin with just one thing that grabbed your attention and go with it - make it work for your classroom, not as an add-on, but as an integration."

  • competitors will now face a new iteration of the iPad, one that's faster, smaller, and lighter than the model introduced a year ago--all while retaining the $499 entry price that has proven all but impossible for Apple's competitors to match.
  • company is offering 18 different versions of the iPad 2
  • original iPad came in six different variations
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • A5 is a dual-core version of the 1GHz A4 chip that powers the iPhone 4 and the original iPad. The iPad 2 also has 512MB of RAM--twice that of the original iPad--and a 200MHz bus speed,
  • the key about "up to double" is that software must be optimized to take advantage of multiple processor cores
  • Graphics performance has become a major component in determining how fast a computing device feels. And Apple says that the graphics performance on the iPad 2 is as much as nine times faster
  • the moment I started using the iPad 2 with familiar apps from my original iPad, I could tell that the system was faster.
  • Then there's the question of whether you need to buy an iPad 2 with 3G at all. Many smartphones--including the iPhone 4--have a Wi-Fi-based hotspot feature that lets them share their Internet connections with other devices.
  • if you dream of using your iPad as a jumbo GPS navigation console, you'll absolutely need a 3G model.
  • support for HDTVs and HD video. A combination of iPad 2 hardware upgrades, a new adapter from Apple, and updates to the iOS share the credit, but the end result is great news for both entertainment and education.
  • A feature exclusive to the iPad 2 that will be hailed by educators, presenters, and anyone else who has ever wanted to show off their iPad's screen to a large crowd: video mirroring. When connected to the HDMI adapter, the iPad 2 will display a duplicate version of the contents of its screen on an external monitor. Want to demo an education app via a projector or HDTV for a classroom full of kids? The iPad 2 makes it possible.
  • iPad app ecosystem launched strong and has continued to grow, making it one of the iPad's biggest advantages over competing tablets.
  • GarageBand for iPad is an almost breathtaking achievement. At times it feels more responsive than GarageBand running on the late-model iMac on my desk at work

  • In our experience, if students are not able to find answers to an Internet search in the first few results pages, they say “I can’t find it,” instead of adjusting their search, or reexamining the results in depth.
  • As teachers, it is important that we realize that we appreciate the convenience of the Internet because we see it through a different lens than our students.

  • As with learning to read, swim or play good football children will be much more effective social networkers with support, guidance and help than without
  • We need to educate young people to understand that it is wrong to write anything on a social networking site which you wouldn’t say to someone’s face

  • Technology is great. I love my iPhone. It can do all sorts of things, but making me a better dancer isn’t one of them. Every day parents ask their kids, “What did you learn today?” It’s never “How did you learn it?” or “On what device did you learn it?” but always, “What?” Yet so long as the answer to that doesn’t change, neither will educational outcomes.

  • HOWEVER, none of this, for a moment, displaces the teacher. On the contrary, it amplifies teacher skills. It may also facilitate the ability for teachers to play to their strongest card:
  • We should not try to recreate what Salman Khan of the Khan Academy and others are doing so brilliantly, namely to meticulously build up entire curricula on video. No. TED is known for its ability to evoke curiosity, wonder, and mind-shifting insight.  That should be our prime goal here. Short lessons that spark curiosity.

  • the district shelved the idea when it became apparent that students preferred using their personal mobile devices and that the cost of buying and ­refreshing ­notebooks every three to four years would be ­prohibitive
  • surveyed the 155 eighth-graders ­participating in the pilot, they learned something ­interesting: Although students loved the idea of having their own computer to do their homework, 52 percent of them were using their personal computers rather than those issued by the school
  • IT department beefed up the wireless network in its two middle schools and the high school and standardized on a set of cloud-based applications
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Google Apps' ­productivity and collaboration tools, and connect to the Moodle course management system, where they can access ­reading materials and other course ­content and participate in discussion forums and live chats.
  • To implement BYOD successfully, Gartner Research Director Bill Rust says every school must do the following:
  • offers five blended high school courses in English and health education
  • Professional development also is helping educators learn new teaching techniques that are technology-centric
  • Schools that are embracing BYOD are working to ­incorporate technology into their curriculum
  • Early BYOD Adopters Share Lessons Learned
  • Professional development is important. Hanover's educational technology staff holds a training session every Tuesday, Fry says. The district also built a wiki to educate teachers about using technology in the classroom.
  • Provide a buyer's guide.
