Mobile learning (mLearning) is the new black! Whether it is just a fad or not, mobile devices change the way the class runs, and they change the way students learn. Many teachers, from my experience, cite too many problems with using iPads in their classroom, most of them related to classroom management. As an eLearning leader, I get a lot of questions like ‘how do I guarantee the students are on-task?’ , or ‘how do I make sure they don’t play games?’ , or ‘how do I make sure I can maintain their attention when I need it?’. 1- Set clear expectations: a lot of classroom management challenges can easily be overcome by setting clear guidelines and expectations for iPad use. 3- Differentiate the task: if a student is disengaged from a task and seems to be easily distracted, ask them for reasons. 4- Explore gaming: see how you can bring gaming into the classroom.

We’ve seen "magic-window" augmented reality interfaces, Minority Report-style gestural interfaces, and computer-vision-powered collaborative display interfaces. But what about an iPad app that combines all three?
That would be T(ether), an experimental design from the MIT Media Lab. Creators Matthew Blackshaw, Dávid Lakatos, Hiroshi Ishii, and Ken Perlin call T(ether) "a tool for spatial expression" that "acts as a window affording users a perspective view of three-dimensional data through tracking of head position and orientation. " In English, that means you can hold the iPad up with one hand to reveal a shared virtual space that you can manipulate with the other hand using a special glove. T(ether) opens up mind-boggling possibilities for creating interactive digital art or exploring novel scientific visualizations.

I’ve seen the photos of New York and New Jersey; in our way, we were lucky.
