      fostering autonomous and self regulated learners: when an instructor does for learners what learners should do for themsleves the learning experience is incomplete. developing capacity for learning and the mindsets needed to be successful learners is a central attribute. We are not only concerend with the epistemological development of learners (knowing stuff) - we traget ontological development (being a certain type of person) as well.

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.

      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.
