Google Drive e la didattica: nascita di un eBook partecipato di Andrea Patassini L’idea di raccogliere in un eBook informazioni, consigli e approfondimenti sull’uso di Google Drive nella didattica nasce nella primavera del 2014. Tempo prima avevo progettato e messo a punto qui al Laboratorio di tecnologie Audiovisive un breve percorso formativo online dedicato alle opportunità della logica cloud nell’impegno di lavoro del personale universitario. Terminata quella prima esperienza, con Roberto Maragliano è maturata l’idea di rivedere il materiale prodotto, ampliarlo e soprattutto ripensarlo nell’ottica di una proposta che mirasse alla didattica scolastica. Scrivere è una pratica solitamente attribuibile alla sfera personale. Terminata la stesura del testo con Roberto ci siamo confrontati su come proporre l’eBook. Non basta. Se dovessi riassumere l’intera esperienza con una frase, mi piacerebbe farlo così: ho scritto per formare, mi sono formato scrivendo. Una delle infografiche dell’eBook Mi piace: Mi piace Caricamento...
Librarian Approved: 30 Ed-Tech Apps to Inspire Creativity and Creation | MindShift | KQED News Tool discovery is often a challenge for teachers interested in finding ways to use technology that will change the way they and their students work. With so much going on in the classroom, many teachers don’t have the time to test out various apps and find the perfect tool to meet their needs. Luckily, several tech-savvy librarians have been curating the apps their colleagues find useful and sharing the all-stars with one another through personal learning communities (PLC) and edWeb webinars. These educators are paying attention to their own working habits, as well as those of students, to figure out which technology products and trends are here to stay. Luhtala sees school policies banning phones as a disconnect between school and the real world, where mobile devices are aiding productivity more than ever. “If this is what’s the big deal about mobile learning, then maybe mobile learning does not always require typing and reading,” Luhtala said in an edWeb webinar.

16 Underground Free Project Management Tools Update 2/29/2016: Due to this post’s popularity, we’ve updated this piece to include 20, instead of the original 16, free project management tools that fly under the radar. I live in Washington, D.C., which means two things. One is that I spend an inordinate amount of time brunching, navigating through networking events, and living a life of “Southern efficiency and Northern charm.” D.C., luckily, has a host of awesome and hidden bars that have yet to make the lists of tourist destinations where I can enjoy their excellent service and food without having to worry about overcrowding. I feel similarly about a lot of project management software. As a software hipster, I’m always on the lookout for underground project management tools that have yet to make it big—especially free project management software, which is great for small businesses and individual users. Free Agile Software Hansoft Need a program that can run different project management methods depending on the project? Gravity Taiga

25 Of The Best Research Apps For iPad & Android | TeachThought 25 Of The Best Research Apps For iPad & Android Out of all the reasons to use a tablet or smartphone in the classroom–or the library–mobile research might be among the most natural. Whether a student is… …Google’ing, Wikipedia’ing, facebook’ing; saving a resource, taking a picture of a page so they don’t have to check out the whole book, or sharing a pdf with themselves from one account to another; seeing if the National Archives, twitter, or Questia makes more sense for what they’re looking for; need to ask a peer, a teacher, or a community member about the best source for a certain data point or tidbit; need to ping reddit, Google+, or instagram community to see what important guiding question they’re failing to ask… Using a tablet–whether from Apple, Google, or Windows–is often the most seamless way for them to do so. Coupled with a pencil and a notepad, a tablet or smartphone–and all the apps and networks they give you access too–can make for a powerful combination.
