  • What a teacher can do – all a teacher can do – is work with students to create a classroom culture, a climate, a curriculum that will nourish and sustain the fundamental inclinations that everyone starts out with:  to make sense of oneself and the world, to become increasingly competent at tasks that are regarded as consequential, to connect with (and express oneself to) other people.

  • “But the heart of it has to be about planning for good instruction and evaluating teaching.”

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
