iPad Apps in Education - TME Le code QR en pédagogie Le codes QR envahit notre environnement. Parfois appelé Flashcode , il s’agit d’un code-barre de forme carrée qu’il suffit de scanner, (de "flasher", comme on dit !) avec un smartphone ou une tablette pour lire les informations qu’il contient. Il fait aujourd’hui son entrée dans le domaine de l’éducation ! Un apprentissage nomade De plus en plus, le cours s’effectue en dehors d’une classe dite traditionnelle. lors d’une exposition, le code permet d’enrichir l’affichage de ressources complémentaires, notamment des vidéos ; lors d’une course d’orientation, le code sert à géolocaliser un lieu ou un parcours ; au cours d’un jeu de piste, le code accessible à chaque étape donne des indices ou propose une activité dont la réussite permet de passer à l’étape suivante ( voir une expérimentation de jeu de piste) ... Un accès aux ressources facilité : des ressources directement intégrées dans l’appareil mobile Un complément de ressources, dans un premier temps caché Une individualisation du cours
7 Ways to Collect Student Work in an #iPad Classroom #staar Next week, I'll be facilitating a short one-hour workshop on a topic that is deceptively simple on a computer, but can be complex on an iPad--how to get student work off an iPad in a place where the teacher can get to it in ONE place. This short blog entry tries to offer some solutions. Let me know what you think, ok? Many apps--here's a short list--will output to WebDav, video or image format that ends up in your Camera Roll. For schools deploying iPads in carts, some options are outlined below: WebDav Server - This is the best option because you can show students how to put/get their content in a central location. When considering HOW to get information off your iPad, you need to remember the following: Terms of Service for various solutions may prevent K-7 (ages 5-12) students from using online, or cloud, storage solution. This list below is no particular order of preference. Update: You may also find this blog entry with video tutorials worth your time. Read more about it here
Apptivities Pédagogie inversée 10octobre2013 Par Arnaud Durand Dernièrement j’ai vu un reportage sur un enseignant d’histoire géographie qui faisait de la pédagogie inversée en classe. Vient ensuite un collègue toujours d’histoire géographie qui me parle de la khan-académie qui fournit plein de vidéos pour les enseignants qui font de la pédagogie inversée… Comme son nom l’indique la pédagogie inversée consiste à inverser les moments pédagogiques en classe avec les moments des devoirs à la maison (en théorie ce n’est faisable qu’au secondaire puisque le travail à la maison en primaire est à priori interdit). La découverte d’une notion se fait à la maison, tandis que les exercices se font en classe sur des rythmes individualisés. Les explications sur les notions se fait à la maison par l’intermédiaire de vidéos mises en ligne, à l’issue parfois desquelles un questionnaire internet est donné pour vérifier ou voir si l’élève a compris ou vu la vidéo. Cependant …. Cela suggère que tous les élèves aient internet . Pourquoi pas!
iPads Make Better Readers, Writers Literacy Skills iPads Make Better Readers, Writers In a research paper titled “Unlocking Literacy with iPad,” Ohio English teacher James Harmon found that state-compiled statistics indicate that those students with iPad access in the year leading up to the Ohio Graduation Test had a 6-percent greater chance of passing the test’s reading portion than those without, and an 8-percent greater chance of passing the writing portion. By Margo Pierce09/06/11 Once upon a time teachers stood in front of a blackboard writing letters of the alphabet with chalk and drilling students to develop literacy skills. During the 2010-2011 school year Harmon conducted a “teacher-research” study to measure the effect Apple’s iPad had on the language test scores of his students taking the annual Ohio Graduation Test. This convinced Harmon of the appropriateness of the iPad as a teaching tool. “You can’t just make up words,” Harmon said, “but kids would make up words anyway and it ended up being a real word.
Bloomin' Apps This page gathers all of the Bloomin' Apps projects in one place.Each image has clickable hotspots and includes suggestions for iPad, Android, Google and online tools and applications to support each of the levels of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy.I have created a page to allow you to share your favorite online tool, iOS, or Android app with others. Cogs of the Cognitive Processes I began to think about the triangular shape of Bloom's Taxonomy and realized I thought of it a bit differently.Since the cognitive processes are meant to be used when necessary, and any learner goes in and out of the each level as they acquire new content and turn it into knowledge, I created a different type of image that showcased my thoughts about Bloom's more meaningfully.Here is my visual which showcases the interlocking nature of the cognitive processes or, simply, the "Cogs of the Cognitive Processes".

L’école inversée, est-ce que c’est possible? La « classe inversée », cette philosophie qui implique de voir la portion théorique à l’extérieur de la classe, notamment par des vidéos, est sur toutes les lèvres. Pourrait-on aller jusqu’à imaginer toute une école inversée? C’est le défi qu’a relevé la Clintondale High School, une école américaine située en milieu défavorisé au nord de Détroit. Tina Rosenberg, récipiendaire d’un prix Pulitzer, dresse un portrait de cette école et de ce mouvement sur le blogue du New York Times. Clintondale High School est la première école américaine à avoir mis en place une structure où l’ensemble des cours est sous forme de classe inversée. Au printemps 2010, il a eu l’idée de monter une expérience dans son école. Il est important de comprendre que cette école affichait un taux d’échec moyen d’environ 30 % et qu’elle était classée dans le top 5 % des pires écoles du Michigan. Après une année complète où toute l’école était inversée, le taux global d’échec a chuté sous les 10 %.

10 Common Misconceptions About The Flipped Classroom 10 Common Misconceptions About The Flipped Classroom by Kelly Walsh, emergingedtech.com What have you heard about the flipped classroom? That it’s just the latest education fad? Following are 10 of the most common erroneous ideas about flipped teaching and learning that you may come across, and a brief explanation of why each of them is misinformed. 1. Flipped instruction, a.k.a. the flipped classroom, is an evolution of the phrase “reverse instruction”, which first appeared in print in 20001. 2. As attested to above, the concept of was formally birthed about a decade and a half ago and has been gaining steam ever since. 3. One of the main things I try to clear up right away when I introduce flipped instruction to teachers is that they have to flip all or most of their content. 4. This just doesn’t make sense. 5. 6. 7. 8. Digital learning content can take many forms. 9. 10. (1) Lage, M.J., Platt, G.J., & Treglia, M. (2000).
There is More to iPads in the Classroom Than Apps In a previous post, Evaluating Apps with Transformative Use of the iPad in Mind, I describe my ambivalence about teacher asking my for the “perfect” app to teach this or that. I have teachers ask me frequently about app recommendations for different subject areas.“What app could I use to teach subtraction?”“What app would you recommend for my students to practice writing?”“I want to use iPads in my Science class. What app is good for that?” In a recent article, titled ” How the iPad Can Transform Classrooms” by Ben Johnson on Edutopia, raises awareness of the difference between using the iPad as a way to teach students versus the iPad as a tool to learn for students. The lesson planning questions I hope my teachers will learn to ask will change from “How can I teach this content?” He calls for the paradigm shift in seeing the iPad as a TOOL TO THINK WITH: images used with permission from Andrea Hernandez @edtechworkshop You can download all four images as a pdf.
