OneNote and Education : OneNote and Learning Styles - Dr. Ole Lauridsen - 1 views

  • 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,.

    My focus is on supporting and training staff and students participating in Dwight-Englewood School's Tablet PC program, but this might interest others using tablets in education. 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.

  •  
    Tablet PC does provide the ideal platform for implementing interactive applications where instant feedback reinforce education. However, current system was developed with little attention to UI considerations of the target user and web application. Our project team is challenged to redesign the current UI to support better tablet-pen based activities and make it as close to a paper/pencil environment as possible.

SLP: Frequently Asked Questions - 0 views

  •  
    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

Technology in Education Integration: People not Laptops - OLPC News - 1 views

  •  
    Basic Truths For a Successful Technology Integration Plan: Education really doesn't like change, whether it is "top-down" or by "local consensus". As in any organization on this planet, you will always have 10-15% of individuals who won't like any-thing to do with change, plain and simple. So, you need to focus on the those who are willing and wanting. The Early Adapters are not, repeat, not the people that need the most of the support. You must focus on the Mid Adapters to ensure success. As for the Late Adapters, be patient!
