Coding on iPads – Beginner to Pro

Code and programming may not be the most important topics on the planet but it is an area of study that sufferers two major problems. one: an industry with millions of unfilled job positions and two: a world where not enough teachers feel confident to run programming projects. The iPad can offer a solution in these situations. There’s an app for that (and a generation) Fortunately, the world of code education is getting easier and more self-sufficient every month. Initially, many code teachers in the world were skeptical about whether the iPad had any role to play in code learning and thought of it as just a consumption device. Here’s a summary of some of the apps on offer and the level they cater for: Where do I start and end this journey? Here I will attempt to summarise the various levels of learning and the apps that sit at each stage.

Ma présentation au Sommet iPad en éducation 2015 : le savoir-publier Sommet iPad en éducation 2015, Montréal QC (Sur Twitter, suivre #ipad15) Le savoir-publier, élément essentiel de l’école faite autrement… Résumé : L’émergence d’initiatives technopédagogiques est un signe de transformation. L’accès au numérique via divers outils, les applications performantes, de pair avec ces compétences transdisciplinaires, amènent à revoir les diverses formes de littératies, notamment numériques. Dans un monde où la culture de l’écran-image interpelle nos sens, des questions importantes se posent : Comment le savoir-publier favorise-t-il les compétences de communication tout comme la créativité, pour le bénéfice des apprenants ? L’ignorance rend malhabile, dit-on… Cette complicité entre compétences et contenus, appuyée par les données probantes de la recherche, sont les fondations d’où surgissent les murs de la créativité pédagogique. C’est ce que j’appelle prendre le « beau risque ». Les jeunes nous attendent de l’autre côté ! J'aime : J'aime chargement…

There's a Maker Faire in That iPad! 10 Ways to Create Student Makers With Apps - Getting Smart by Alison Anderson - edapps, iPad, maker, maker fair, makerchat, makered Too often the word on the street is “my school or class has new iPads but we don’t know what to do with them.” The best part about these devices is that they get the learning into the actual hands of students- make learning “hands-on.” That is NOT a new concept. Dewey, Montessori, David Kolb knew this long before the digital age- constructivism is one of the most effective ways to learn anything. These days, the word “maker” can be interchanged for “constructivist” and the Maker Movement is really starting to sweep the country. The White House announced last week they would host their first Maker Faire this spring (follow the hashtag, #IMadeThis). These are all exciting events but all students should have easy access to becoming a maker. 1. DIY.org (app and webbased) has it all! 2. Play-i Bots: coming soon – these little bots will take the code written on the ipad and make it come to life in the real world. 3. 4. 5. 6. Foldify: Don’t have the cash to get a 3D printer? 7. 8. 9.

The 16 Best App Makers to Create Your Own Mobile App We’ve been following the website builder market for more than five years now and creating a simple website is not really much of a problem these days. But does the same hold true for mobile apps? Can it be possible to create a mobile app without having a clue about programming languages? While my wife was toying with the idea of creating a mobile app for her museum website, we took the opportunity to try out some of the best app makers on the market. There really is no shortage of companies offering this kind of service; we easily found more than 30. Update: the app has now been launched, check it out here. Mobile App Makers in 100 Seconds App doesn’t equal App Most of the app makers that we’ve tested offer two kinds of apps: A HTML5 app is a mobile friendly version of your existing website. What most people will be keen on though, is a Native App that users can download on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store (and maybe, just maybe on the Window Phone Store).
