  • “What do you see as the big ‘game changer’ in education?”
  • The real game changer isn’t something external; it is internal.  It is the way we think and grow.  It is moving from that “fixed” mindset about teaching and learning, and moving to the “growth” mindset.
  •  Change is the one constant that we will always have in our world and if we do not grow and learn to embrace it, then we will become irrelevant.

  • Members of any profession need to communicate and collaborate with colleagues to understand and improve their skills. Face-to-face collaboration is personal, but is limited by boundaries of time and space. Participants must have a common time and place for collaboration. Digital collaboration has no bounds of time or space, and collaboration can take place anytime with anyone, anywhere.
  • Technology is not a generational thing, it is a learning thing. It may be outside many educators’ comfort zones, but comfort zones are the biggest obstacles to education reform.
  • The time has come for educators to accept that they no longer have a choice about technology. To maintain relevance as educators, they need to employ relevant technology learning tools for education, connect and collaborate with other professionals to improve their skills and knowledge within their profession, and use PLNs to improve their profession and hold off the barbarian politicians and business people banging down the gates of education

  • 10 BYOD Classroom Experiments (and What We’ve Learned From Them So Far)
  • What can Holy Trinity teach us? That when it comes to BYOD, it pays not to be overly strict with how the devices can be used in the class, as greater freedom allows teachers to work with students to develop the best uses for technology for their subject matter and teaching style.
  • BYOD requires much more than just changing tech policies and can sometimes mean overhauling the curriculum and spending money training teachers, though it does help students create a more personal and memorable learning experience.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • At Mankato, the BYOD program relies heavily on Google Docs and other tools that aren’t platform specific and that serve information to any Internet-accessible device, which points to one of the biggest problems with BYOD: managing a variety of different tech platforms
  • Students can only use devices during times that are approved by teachers and cannot use class time to troubleshoot tech problems.
  • The school also built a virtual desktop system which can be accessed through any device students or teachers bring into school
  • stop trying to battle cell phone use at school and instead decided to integrate the phones into lesson plans for eighth-graders and high school students.
  • BYOD at KISD demonstrates that while technology can be a distraction, it can also be an amazing learning tool that can not only interest students but also help them to become higher achievers.
  • school district encourages students to take the lead, inviting them to make videos that demonstrate acceptable and unacceptable use of personal phones and computers.

  • At that point I took all the phones away and we had a little reminder chat about when it was appropriate to use your phone and when it was not. Also that it was rarely appropriate to hide under the table.

why learn school lecture

shared by Phil Taylor on 03 Jan 11 - No Cached
  • lecture, it is a quick, easy, efficient, and almost fool-proof way to get information directly from you to your students
  • isn't really any deep interaction
  • referred to as the "flipped classroom". I would outsource the delivery of lecture to video
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • The biggest is to spend some time teaching students how to take notes, and then consistently check in with students to make sure they are keeping up their notebooks

  • when one of the biggest textbook publishers in the world invests in a pilot program specifically for the Apple tablet, it’s a good indication that, at the very least, it’s on the short list.
  • students are going ahead more often, and going back more often, and they’re able to do it themselves.
  • iPad is the Holy Grail in education has yet to be determined. But

ipad apple review 2

shared by Phil Taylor on 11 Mar 11 - No Cached
  • 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
