  • starting in 1994, calculators were not only permitted, but were essentially required. The driving factors came from the level of mathematics taught and tested and the availability of graphing calculator technology. This change gave students the appropriate tool for accuracy and efficiency -- it was also the one used by most professionals who used mathematics beyond basic arithmetic

  • What is wrong with these views?
  • The real issue is not related to technology. It’s the conceptual jump that’s most difficult. For example, the functionality expressed in TEKL exists in various tools already. The key value produced by TEKL is to connect the pieces in a meaningful manner that allows for personalization, utilization of social networks, exploration of patterns, and layering of “knowledge and skills” over an existing profile to offer new learning opportunities.

  • The Partnership for 21st Century Skills explicitly lists communication and collaboration together in their Framework for 21st Century Learning.
  • Greg Kulowiec (@gregkulowiec) reminded teachers, "Technology is not the emphasis. It's the tool to do thoughtful work." Apps will change. Operating systems, capabilities, and even devices change. However, if we focus on a core set of essential skills -- communication, collaboration, connection and creation -- and start to develop curricula that will benefit our students regardless of the technology, then we can truly embrace a mobile curriculum.

  • “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.

  • CFY, conducted a pilot in 2011-12 that worked with teachers on incorporating blended learning into their classrooms. Our goal was not technological but pedagogical.
  • Envision these cycles as gears that are interlocked and running as one to drive student achievement and student ownership of learning. Neither of these cycles requires technology, but both are greatly enhanced by using technology.
  • Shifting Prominence of Each Gear from K-12

  • 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

The 4Ss of Note Taking With Technology | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Whether students work in cloud-based platforms or take pictures of analog notes, technology lets them save their work indefinitely. I once had a wonderful advisee. Every afternoon, we repeated this routine. Find his planner. Find his notebooks. Make sure that he could find his notes in said notebooks. Put the notebooks into his backpack. When we finally got this child a laptop, everything changed. He typed all of his notes in Google Docs so that he could access them from any device and from anywhere. Suddenly, everything was truly saved.
  • note taking is an activity where the note taker needs to process information and reframe, reorganize, and work with the data to make note taking useful.
