Reflection 1 – This is the most stimulating year I have spent in teaching. Reflection 2 – I’m concerned and it’s all my fault! One word sums up this dissonance – opportunity .

The practice of learning alongside students has promoted a difference in my teaching style. I have searched for techniques that best suit these opportunities and that search has been made easier by new technologies.

The iPad is not magic, and as many educators have found integrating them meaningfully is by no means a just-add-water proposition . The same applies to Project-Based Learning . Project-Based Learning is a method of giving learners access to curriculum in authentic ways that promote collaboration, design, imagination, and innovation while also allowing for more natural integration of digital and social media. Below we’ve offered 23 ways that the iPad can be used in your classroom. While given strategies may or may not fit exactly into your curriculum or grade level, consider them instead as a kind of board of ideas to inspire your own thinking.

iPads for Kids with Autism: Tech News Zone Wants to Help | autisable
iPads for Kids with Autism: Tech News Zone Wants to Help Tech News Zone’s Project TEACH offers kids with autism and their families the gifts of technology,music, culture, the arts, and educational assistance. When the Apple iPad surfaced in April 2010, many schools adopted it to help children with communication and language skills – but with a starting price of $500, it’s pricey. Out of reach for many families with autistic children who could benefit from the device, Autism Advocacy and Technology News Zone, Inc. (a Nevada nonprofit corporation) wants to help iPads get into the hands of those children.I remember back in the day when I had literary stacks of cassettes. I kept them in tidy racks on the wall and even dusted them off about once a week in order to keep them nice and clean. The cases usually got scratched pretty easily, and we’d all keep switching our favorite cassette’s case with the one that looked new and shiny. If I remember right, we could even buy new cases to switch out our old ones. What did you do with your cassettes?

The next game-changer in tablets could come from Samsung , not Apple, as a perfect storm of processor, screen and platform coalesces to make the Korean firm an innovator not a copycat. Samsung has already demonstrated its abilities in processors – even Apple would have to agree with that, having co-developed the A4 chipset powering the original iPad with its Korean rival – but the new Exynos 5 Dual raises the bar significantly; according to the rumors, meanwhile, that will find its way into the Samsung “P10″, a new uber-tablet packing a display that squarely challenges Apple’s Retina tech. The P10, it’s believed , will arrive sometime in 2012, with an 11.8-inch WQXGA screen. If you’ve not been keeping up to speed with your acronyms, that means 2560 x 1600 resolution for a pixel density of 256ppi; in contrast, Apple’s new iPad has a 9.7-inch screen with a 264ppi pixel density.
