Putting Change on the Backs of Teachers is a Bad, Bad Idea. Keynote. Demystifying 5 Myths About iPads in The Classroom. I have been quite amused reading the comments beneath stories on the Internet regarding school programs that are providing students with their own learning device.
The LAUSD program has really whipped a lot of opinion on this. If some of these commentators are to be believed, we are heading into an apocalypse that will destroy the very fabric of our community. Yesterday I read a comment on a New York Times article that said that staring at a wall was more educational to a child than anything on an iPad or television.

Today I have been catching up on some tweets/blog posts that I favourited on twitter.
I thought that some of them were worth sharing. The first post I re-read this morning was Oliver Quinlan's Knowing Creativity. I took time to reply directly on the post, but had ipad failure once again and it deleted my comment. Next time I will try to remember to copy before I press send... In a very small nutshell (I recommend reading it for yourself), Oliver's post explores the idea of creativity being less of a result of inspiration and more as hard graft. The third favourite was from @digitalmaverick about the Scratch Literacy Project between schools in London and Prague. Ipads This next favourite is a 'Bloom's taxonomy' in apps shared by @ethinking, created by @aangeli.
This was also shared by @ethinking and is a chart of key apps and a 'master plan for a 1:1 ipad programme. And a final favourite that I felt important to share is this: Need I say any more?
