  • The critical task is not finding information or stimuli, but organizing, cataloging, archiving, and developing habits and practices to exercise control over our surfeit of opportunity.
  • How might efforts to curate benefit from the portability and ubiquity of mobile devices? What would a “relevance portfolio” look like, where students catalog their daily encounters with ideas or experiences?
  • the task of the teacher is no longer to collect and distribute, but to empower students to curate their own collections of intellectual resources.

  • Students can collect, organize and annotate web sites on Diigo, books on GoodReads, photos of Flickr, scholarly references on Zotero, music on SoundCloud, and anything and everything on a Tumblr or WordPress blog.
  • Evernote is one of the best apps to start to bridge this gap between the digital and physical.
  • Touch App Creator allows users to organize eBooks, text, images, and web-based content together into web apps hosted on Google Drive.
  • In the spirit of Gardner’s beauty journals, we should aim not just to help students get organized, but to closely and intentionally examine what they read, watch, see, hear, and collect.

    Excellent article- "The critical task is not finding information or stimuli, but organizing, cataloging, archiving, and developing habits and practices to exercise control over our surfeit of opportunity." So we need to help students get organized (a few key tools highlighted here for this) and "closely and intentionally examine what they read, watch, see, hear, and collect."

Horizon report but for Higher Ed - 0 views

    Has interesting chapter on Tablet Computing (page 15) with similar links to K12 report but does give an idea of where Higher Education is going. If we are trying to prepare students for the next stage of their education we should look at this. With their growing number of features, tablets give traction to other educational technologies - from facilitating the real-time data mining needed to support learning analytics to offering a plethora of game-based learning apps. Transitioning to tablets is relatively painless for students as they already use them or very similar devices outside of the classroom to download apps, connect to their social networks, and surf the web......." Also some idea in the chapter of usage of tablets in universities.

      parents  more than ever could be key partners in contributing to this new frontier in  learning.  Parent perceptions matter. Their support and influence can smooth the way  for educational technology in schools and help overcome the limitations of  school coffers, without which digital initiatives can stall.

      At the same time, many parents look to  teachers and schools for guidance on helping children use mobiles and  apps for educational purposes.

      Absolutely. The need for us to be actively pursuing ways to use technology effectively and safely is essential.

      Defining Terms To ensure parents had a consistent basis for responding to questions  about different types of technology, the survey provided them with these  definitions and examples:  nMobile devices-wireless handheld devices that use Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G to  connect to the Internet, many of which use an operating system such as  iOS, Windows or Android, and can run various types of apps. Examples  include smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and the iPod Touch.  nPortable devices-laptops, notebooks, netbooks, ultrabooks

      Many children are using many different devices-and using them often.  Even some pre-K children are using multiple devices. Smartphones are the  most commonly used mobile device; 43 percent of all children (pre-K-12),  and 60 percent of high school students, use a smartphone. One in three  children (34 percent) use tablets. Children use most devices daily or weekly,  with smartphones the most commonly and frequently used device.

    This seems to be how a number of US school boards are heading... seems to be more concentrated on management to me but hey? + points Some nice class management features Simple to Use Cheap (in comparison to Apple) Would be much more academic focussed (takes away distraction in class possibly) - points Too US centric (curriculum etc) How easy to tailor make to your curriculum etc. Android v Apple apps, an issue

    Welcome to the 'iPad in Education' web site - concerned with using Apple's iPad for learning and teaching. Although this is based in the UK, the site's content will reflect practice from other counties and contexts in order to explore and learn from a wide field. I am Ian Wilson a freelance Apple Education Mentor based in the north west of England (Twitter: @Ian__Wilson). I have set up this site as I believe the iPad signals the opportunity for a transformation in how technology is used in schools, colleges and universities. I am interested in looking at all age ranges, all abilities across all areas of the curriculum and keen to see if the iPad makes technology more transparent and cross-curricular as it should be.
