Add a list of names and corresponding text colors at the top of the shared note page so that session participants know who is typing or writing.

  • learning communities are not aware of the enormous learning potential that is to be found in this “electronic notebook”
  • many learners are simply not capable of choosing among the many features available in OneNote in a qualified way
  • eNote is the one that embraces most learning styles elements and does it in the most direct way
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • m a constructivist point of view, all learning implies the transformation of information into knowledge, and this goes for teaching, too, in the modern – i.e. constructivist – sense of the word: Creating an adequate environment for learning.
  • OneNote is a very strong learning tool that may be completely personalized in accordance with to the users’ needs, not least their learning styles needs.
  • OneNote supports the auditory strength by allowing users to work with audio files. Whole lectures, group meetings, and also thoughts, ideas, brainwaves, can be recorded and stored for further processing, provided with relevant annotations (the latter as “sticky quotes” created through a mouse click on the OneNote icon in the notification area).
  • The use of text and all kinds of pictures obviously supports visual learners. OneNote contains many visual elements, and creative users can design their own as well.
  • Tactile learners benefit from the mere use of a computer and thus of course from the mere use of OneNote. Drawing, making audio or video recordings, scrolling, following links, etc. are important activities for tactile learners and strongly support their focus and their learning process.
  • Verbal learners often like to talk to themselves, and they may support this preference by using OneNote’s recording tool. Mentally, recording speech is more binding than saying words that just vanish into thin air; consequently, a recording has a much larger learning impact than mere speech that is not recorded.
  • The smooth interaction with other Microsoft Office applications (first of all, Outlook and Explorer) makes it easy to switch between tasks; furthermore, the program as such with its notebooks, sections, subsections, and many features gives the multitaskers fantastic opportunities to meet their individual needs.
  • OneNote supports the learners’ preferences whether they want to work alone, in pairs, in a peer groups, or teams, and whether or not they need to consult a person of authority while working and, finally, whether or not they prefer variation between these options,.

In addition to answering questions from D-E folks here, I plan to post information I come across that I feel will be useful in the future. So, until I know who needs this information, here it sits.

    Why should I purchase my tablet through Rocky Hill when I might find a less expensive machine through another source (a bricks and mortar or Internet retail store, for example)?\n\nWe strongly recommend that families purchase the tablet through the school's laptop purchase program. Classroom instruction using technology is more effective when all students work with the same tools; consistency and compatibility reduce the possibility of confusion and wasted class time. While it may seem that a comparable tablet could be purchased at a lower price on the outside, families should remember that laptops purchased through RHS come with features and services that are not always included in the laptop packages offered at retail stores. Purchasing these items separately almost always results in a higher total cost. The RHS tablets are bundled with software needed to operate in the RHS environment, at a savings not available through retail outlets. The customized configuration that is loaded on each tablet makes the transition from the shipping box to the classroom almost seamless. Additionally, we provide significant value-added services in the area of maintenance and support with the goal of minimizing down time should a problem arise; a laptop from our loaner pool is always available to students who purchase their laptop through RHS.\n\n

  • Our plan has five intertwined strands-curriculum revision, student training, faculty training, program assessment and program sustainability and this past week, there were challenges to each strand.
    • Tami Brass

      I like the strands... curriculum, student training, faculty training, assessment, sustainability
  • The first strand encompasses redesigning significant pieces of curriculum in preparation for a 1-to-1 tablet program
  • NET-s and the Framework for 21st Century Skills and using them to create talking points that make sense for our institution
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Our goal is to take the good in the existing curriculum, throw out the unnecessary and outdated, add topics of relevancy for today’s students, and embed teaching the skills that today’s students need.

      I'm curious about the lecture environment. I like the training in context, but some skills training is more efficient at the start.
  • Using standards, research, learning theories and best practices, we are creating curricular goals and training plans for each department.
  • This means that they need to know things about the operating system, the tablet hardware, and the software tools they have at their disposal.
  • We are also trying to offer a summer speaker series that we hope faculty will find somewhat inspiring.
    • Tami Brass
      Tami Brass on 14 May 08
       
      I wish we could do this.
  • To assess the program, we are exploring ways to get baseline data. LOTI and some teaching survey’s made with Composica will be key components. We aren’t going to a 1-to-1 program to increase technology skills or use but because we think it’s a central ingredient in a 21st century learning environment and a necessary tool for the type of curriculum today’s students need.
  • In summary, the lessons I learned or had reiterated for me as I worked on the 1-to-1 plan are these: A personal learning network should be a requirement for all teachers. I’m increasingly drawn to the idea that it should be a requirement for our students as well. The training plan must be revised to ensure that faculty learn to create and maintain a network. Learning is non-linear. The more networked I become, the less linear things get. Ideas and plans exist in a state of constant revision. The rate at which ideas and information are generated is astounding. It requires a network to help filter and distill the information. Curriculum and Learning no longer have an endpoint, in part because of mass collaboration made possible by technology. The need to change is urgent. Our students' learning and futures depend on it.

    Technology doesn't make learning any more relevant or effective. Good teaching does that. Treating everyone in the class as fully fledged human beings does that. Respecting the contributions, backgrounds, and interests of all learners does that. Relevant and effective teaching and learning can occur without any technology at all, if given a creative enough environment in which to work. Technology may help to extend and enhance, but there are critical pieces that need to be in place before any technology will make a difference.

    One of the most consistent findings in psychology is that people behave differently when their environment changes. When we're in a place where people are quiet (church), we're quiet. When we're in a place where people are loud (stadiums), we're loud. When we're driving and the lanes narrow, we slow down. When they widen, we speed up again. This may seem obvious, but when we try to make change at work, we often make the mistake of obsessing about the people involved rather than their environment. Often the easiest way to drive change is to shape the environment.

    I've got a theory, and it's this: Steve Jobs believes he's gambling Apple's future - the future of a corporation with a market cap well over US $200Bn - on an all-or-nothing push into a new market. HP have woken up and smelled the forest fire, two or three years late; Microsoft are mired in a tar pit, unable to grasp that the inferno heading towards them is going to burn down the entire ecosystem in which they exist. There is the smell of panic in the air, and here's why ...

    A Tablet PC is a unique type of computer that allows the user to "ink" his or her input - words, sketches, diagrams and even math and science notations - and have them saved digitally. It can offer teachers new solutions for teaching and engage students so they are excited about coming to class - or doing fieldwork - and learning. The key to innovation is in their flexibility and mobility. This eBook provides information about them and classroom examples that show how they are taking educational computing far beyond the capabilities of the conventional notebook and where they are making a difference in teaching and learning. We hope you will enjoy reading about this exciting new technology.
