A new way of using tablet computers in schools could change how children are taught in Wales, says Education Minister Leighton Andrews.

Swansea tablet computer project boosts pupils' reading

It follows a project using the computers developed at Casllwchwr Primary in Swansea. When tested at another primary, Year Six children saw average reading ages leap from nine to 13. Mr Andrews wants the teaching profession to see how the tailored learning programme could help others. "We've had the input from Casllwchwr and other technologically advanced schools, both primary and secondary in Wales looking at digital classroom teaching," he said. "We've rolled that experience out," said the minister. But he said that the real issue now was for education authorities, education directors, and council leaders to grasp what had been done in Swansea. "They need to see it at first hand had to understand the really transformational potential of what Casllwchwr has achieved," he insisted.

"It meant that they quickly became confident. Internet Catalogue. Award Winning Leadership in Mobile Teaching and Learning! Learning Services have been awarded a Mobile Innovation Award as part of the 2013 Blackboard Catalyst Award programme.

20 BYOT Resources By Category. Whether you call it BYOT or BYOD (technology vs device), it’s clear that as people become more attached to their mobile devices and as mobile devices become more customized and an extension of their owners, more schools and employers are permitting and even encouraging students and employees to bring their own devices to work.

Making a Case for Mobile Learning

Enhancing Information Language Learning with Mobile Technology - Does it Work? - 73% of Teachers Use Cellphones for Classroom Activities. More middle- and secondary-school teachers are using digital tools in their classrooms and professional lives, a new report says.

73% of Teachers Use Cellphones for Classroom Activities

A study by Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project released Thursday delves into teachers' increasing technology use, but also expresses educators' concerns about the digital divide. The study surveyed Advance Placement and National Writing Project teachers across the United States, and 92% say the Internet has a "major impact" on their ability to access content, resources and materials for teaching.

Teachers are becoming advanced tech users, according to Kristen Purcell, Pew's associate director for research. "The findings bode well for people who really want to see these tools become a part of the educational sphere," Purcell tells Mashable. Use of mobile technology dominates the learning process, the study finds. Not only are educators using devices in the classroom, but they outpace typical online adults when it comes to personal tech use. Technology brings classroom experience to distance learners. Course materials can be downloaded on to mobile devices and accessed by students wherever they are.

Technology brings classroom experience to distance learners

Photograph: Mike Harrington/Lifesize Students on the University of Leicester's new distance learning MSc in security, conflict and international development face more challenges than the average distance learner. For example, some students might spend weeks with no access to an internet connection, working in a refugee camp in post-conflict countries. How does the university make sure these remote students have everything they needed to carry out their studies? "When you're doing that sort of thing, you can't be carrying huge folders of printed material," says Prof Adrian Beck, head of the university's department of criminology.

The solution was to give every student on the course a free iPad, on to which they could download a bespoke app and all the course materials.

Five reasons why QR and AR won’t take off on the London Underground

This is me scratching an itch. Although there are plenty of statistics that suggest people have scanned QR codes out and about, used Blippar watching television and Aurasma whilst reading their sportsday match programmes, I’m a bit of a sceptic. Virgin’s provision of free WiFi on the London Underground, the service notably being free to use on Vodafone and EE, has led many to ponder how this will impact on marketing and advertising in the subterranean rat race. Some have claimed augmented reality (AR) will start to take off as the technology matures along with marketers, and there’s a signal to enable web content for QR codes/ RFID and the like. However, unless scanning is heavily incentivised, I’m of the opinion there are at least five reasons why this isn’t going to be heavily adopted, and you can agree or disagree in our comments section below.

Mobile technology is making explosive growth into our schools and classrooms.There is now a growing trend towards taking advantage of mobile devices to inspire learning and promote students engagement, but the problem is that school districts can not cover the costs of these devices and to provide every student with a gadget would be out of their affordability particularly with the shrinking budgets being allocated for high tech materials.However, several initiatives have been taken to counter this financial block facing the implementation of mobile technology in classroom and one of these initiatives is called BYOD ( Bring Your Own Device).

BYOT

In practice this usually involves connecting the device to the internet via the school wifi connection. As yet we have failed to identify any schools in England that are adopting a BYOT (as opposed to BYOD) approach. Having said that, the following is an example of a BYOT (as opposed to BYOD) case study -- but then it is a college: BYOT Case Study -- New College, Swindon. BYOD.

This usually involves registering the MAC address of the device with the school. The school restricts access to the network and manages which facilities the pupil/device can utilise. Articles - Educational Technology.
