The iPadâBreaking New Ground in Special Education. After the release of the iPad, 3 million of which were sold in just 80 days, Apple received an unanticipated reaction from the autistic community.
Unknowingly, the company may have stumbled upon a revolutionary framework to change the future of special education technology. The iPad has the same multitouch capabilities as the iPhone, although the screen is larger—approximately 10 inches. Its lightweight nature makes the iPad portable, and its touchscreen is visually appealing, capturing the attention of special education students. Many different applications can be downloaded to the iPad to maintain schedules, tell stories, learn lessons, and reinforce positive behavior. Application capability aside, Apple products are a fraction of the cost of other communication devices from companies such as Dyno Vox and Prentke Romich Co., which can cost upwards of $10,000. One of the most popular, and most expensive at $189.99, applications is Proloquo2Go, which is available for the iPhone or iPad.

As well as working with Pan-European Youth Panel and visiting the Future Classroom Lab last week in Brussels I also attended the 2013 Safer Internet Forum (#SIF2013) funded by the European Commission and organized by European Schoolnet.
I was my privilege to chair the opening panel where we were discussing the opportunities that the Internet can bring to others. In particular, developing entrepreneurship opportunities for young people. Joining me on the panel were three exceptional young people Albert Geisler Fox, Alja Isaković and Nina Devani. Now, these three folks are involved in all sorts of web based entrepreneurship from app development, social media marketing, cyber-security, robotics, wearable computing and Internet based philanthropy.

This is not the first time I have said this, but it is the thought which must begin any conversation about truly "re-forming" our education system. The system in use in the United States, in Canada, in the United Kingdom, in Australia, in Ireland, et al, was designed to fail 75% to 80% of students. The idea, whether the builders were Henry Barnard and Ellwood Cubberley or Henry Brougham and William Edward Foster, was to find a very few students who might arise from the lower classes while consigning most students to the mills and mines of 19th Century industrial society. So, if our schools are only failing 50% to 65% of students - as they are - the system is already performing way above its design capabilities.

It's been another crazy week with the Web 2.0 Summit and Facebook's big announcement about messages.
With all of that excitement, it's easy to miss one or two of the tools and resources we've been cranking out for you. Here's our list from the past week or so. Google vs Facebook – a much needed intervention. Hi Google, hey Facebook, sit yourselves down. I need to have a word with you both. You see, it’s not escaped our notice that you’ve both had a bit of a fall-out over the past few weeks, and quite frankly it’s getting silly.
Google, you started the spat by blocking Facebook users from searching their Gmail accounts to find friends. Your reason for this? Because Facebook doesn’t allow users to do the same thing, find users on other services by searching their Facebook account. Now Facebook, TechCrunch reports that you’ve decided drop all mention of Gmail from your contacts search tool entirely. Okay, both of you – listen. Google, it’s all very honourable for you to say that anyone who transfers contacts data from Gmail should offer the ability to move it on again, but here’s the thing – those contacts are my data, not yours. Facebook, it seems to me that you’ve been trying your hardest to think of users here by offering a work around to Google’s restrictions.

Starting today, customers worldwide can access a full spectrum of services from Google—including more than 60 productivity-boosting applications that extend far beyond any traditional software suite. Coupled with the ability for administrators to provide different sets of applications to different groups of users, the possibilities for empowering workers in new ways are remarkable. In tandem with this big improvement, we’re also simplifying the names of the versions of Google Apps. Via:packrati.us 30. Twitter Rank of Your Website! Delta Teacher Development Series - ELT and the Crisis in Education – Part 2. First, I would like to say thank you to all the people who answered the questionnaire and left comments on my first posting about ELT and the Crisis in Education.
The questionnaire wasn’t intended as ‘research’ but merely to prompt thought and response to some of the issues that I wanted to raise over the course of this series of articles and see where existing opinions differed. You can see the results here and still do the questionnaire yourself and add questions if you wish: The first of the issues I’d like to dig a bit deeper into is technology, as that’s where much of my own more recent experience lies.
