  • hese are my notes from Tony Vincent’s NECC 2009 presentation, “Do So Much with an iPod Touch!.” His notes are available with all the links! This was a fantastic presentation in all respects. Tony is a model presenter, very engaging, so relevant with specific classroom examples, has such depth of experience as a classroom teacher with his extensive Palm background, I could go on and on. If you are looking for a professional development guru to work with teachers and students and the iPod Touch, look no further than Tony Vincent.

      This one captured my attention! I need to share this with Susan Wouters because she talked about writing a grant application for a set of 25-30 of these to serve as another "mobile lab" at WMS. Yeah! :-)

      If the computer is connected to the office, meaning there won't be prinouts and wasted paper, then I'd say "sure, this is effective."
  • B. Students use concept mapping software to help them organize information for a research paper. C. A first grade class practices math facts while playing Number Munchers in the computer lab.

      If the technology is being used to support the learning, then I'd say "Yes." If it was "How can I use tech? If we play Number Munchers/use concept mapping software, then we'll find some way to make it learning" then I'd say "no." Learning comes first.
  • D. Students use the classroom computers to check their email and read the news at ESPN.com during their free time.

      I'm going to say "yes" and defend it this way: #1 we *do not* own our students' time. Even when they are in school. The two examples Clif gives show students engaged in Literacy of their own making. That is great!
