O. Wilson’s high school biology textbook available for the iPad or other multi-touch tablets (MTT) and the iBooks authoring potential. The first; and perhaps most lasting, impression of the group was this is a visually stunning, scientifically relevant textbook that should be a game changer in how the next generation of science textbooks are developed and the textbook that was measured in pounds and cubic inches of space in your child’s backpack is dead! Also the text has reasonable accommodations and some pedagogical tools. Citation Slough, S., Erdogan, N., Cavlazoglu, B., Wakefield, J.

Mobile Learning. Reflections of a Passionate Educator | Reflections on eLearning and teaching Drama, English/ESL and the Humanities! TodaysMeet. How To Capture Ideas Visually With The iPad - By its very design, the iPad promotes consumption. Essentially an interactive mobile screen, the combination of physical form and supporting software-based user interface on Apple’s wunder-tablet suggests watching and listening, enabling you to tear the “monitor” off the desk and take it with you. By lacking a keyboard, input and production aren’t quite as natural.

That isn’t necessarily because the iPad can’t accommodate such input, but rather that the software–and our habits as users–haven’t completely caught up with the not-insignificant shift in interface. But it doesn’t have to be that way. One microcosm of the potential of the iPad in learning is the concept of visual recording. Visual recording is what it sounds like it’d be. But executing it in practice–and then doing something meaningful with those iPad-captured images–isn’t second-nature simply because it’s not something you do everyday. 1. 2. 3. 4. Mapping Media to the Common Core » What do you want to CREATE today? Adding Bookmarklets on iPad and iPhone. I made this page out of frustration.

There is simply no easy way to add bookmarklets to your iPad or iPhone. I blagged a little about that here. I don't use Safari on my desktop, so I don't sync my bookmarks to my iDevices. So I took a few minutes to copy the Javascript from all my bookmarklets and made this iPhone/iPad formatted page with all the Javascript in a selectable textarea for each bookmarklet. I know this is far from ideal, and even further from anything resembling a solution, but until some smart person comes up with a way around this, or until Apple adds some better bookmark management or add-on capabilities to mobile Safari this will have to do for now.

I'll leave this page up for anyone who wants to add some of these bookmarklets to Safari on their own iPads or iPhones. Instructions: I'll assume that you are running iOS and that you already know how to add and edit a Safari bookmark on your iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch, but here's a quick recap anyway: 1.

More and more schools are, if not already adopting 1:1 environments or BYOD projects , then they are at least debating a future inclusion of this mobile device in the classroom. But as a teacher and practitioner who is going to be using iPad with his/her students, you need to think about the instructional use of this tool. There are several questions you need to foment in your mind and hopefully find answers to before using iPad in your teaching. You basically need to ask yourself the following questions : 1- What are the objectives behind my implementing iPad in my teaching ? 7- Have you thought about the learning apps you are going to use with your students ?

11- Have you taught your students about digital citizenship and how they can stay safe online and protect their privacy ?
