"Rather than structure my presentations by tool, or by app, or even by project, I organized myself around desired student outcomes - aka. what students can actually do. However, before addressing that question, I asked not only WHY iPads but WHY Technology? Because…. I want my students to communicate in complex and modern ways. I want my students to make their thinking visible as an alternative assessment. I want my students to document their thinking as they work through a process. I want my students to have multiple ways through which to interact with learning objects."

"J. Richard Hackman's Leading Teams: Setting the Stage for Great Performances (2002, Harvard Business School Press). Hackman, the Edgar Pierce Professor of Social and Organizational Psychology at Harvard University, has been studying teams for more than 40 years. This is his first book-length monograph on the subject drawing together much of this work into a clear and compelling presentation of team management theory. His focus is not on leadership teams, per se (and definitely not on social movement leaders). Rather, his research seeks to explain the effectiveness of work teams-groups of people in a variety of employment settings (from airlines to orchestras) who work together to produce some output (from successful flights to Mozart symphonies)."

"Rather than discussing one particular app in detail, this post presents the bigger picture by discussing three different user profiles whose needs are different with regards to PDF annotation and management. Once you know what type of user you are, you can check out the overview of 10 (plus 3) apps, my personal favorites, and some thoughts on using a stylus. With all this information, finding out what app you need to annotate PDF files "your style" becomes a piece of cake."
