Bloom's Taxonomy for The iPad

Bloom's Taxonomy for The iPad
Langwitches has recently updated his phenomenal post on the The iPad Apps for Bloom Taxonomy. This post has an awesome aggregation of iPad apps organized according to Blooms HOTS ( Higher Order Thinking Skills). If you are a teacher or educator and have not yet read about Bloom's Taxonomy then let me tell you that you are missing out on a great resource of educational insight. One of the most popular posts here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning is Bloom's Taxonomy: The 21st Century Version. I recommend that you read it to have an idea of the importance of this taxonomy in education. As for the the apps Langwitches has suggested for each skill, you will find almost half of them are not free but they are not expensive anyway.

EdTech Workshop: 5 Ways I'm Using Apps in the Classroom As I'm wrapping up week #2 teaching language arts in a 4/5 1:1 iPad environment, I thought I would try a "5 ways..." type of post. One of my many goals this year is to be a better sharer, so I am pushing myself to blog each week and to try different styles of writing. Let me know what you think, please! 1. Apps for Student Blogging We have experimented, thus far, with three apps for student blogging: Wordpress, Chrome and Safari. I'm amazed at how quickly the students are beginning to fluently use multiple apps to achieve a task. Note: Our student bloggers would love to connect with other student bloggers, and we would welcome readers and comments. 2. After carefully reviewing the features of Class Dojo, I decided against using it for behavior management. 3. The camera is a no-brainer. 4. I put Words With Friends on our app list, thinking that we would use it as part of Daily 5 word work. 5. What are students actually learning?

Les smartphones au service de la science Les smartphones au service de la science Les terminaux mobiles équipés de capteurs connectés au réseau ont ouvert la voie à de nouvelles approches pour l’observation des phénomènes environnementaux ou sociaux. Leurs impacts sur l’activité scientifique sont désormais de deux ordres. Impact économique tout d’abord : l’utilisation d’appareils grand public comme les smartphones ou les tablettes fait chuter le coût des équipements scientifiques et permet d’utiliser ces équipements dans des lieux reculés ou difficilement accessibles. Elle permet aussi d’associer des scientifiques amateurs, équipés de smartphones, à la collecte d’observations. Des smartphones qui deviennent des instruments médicaux La médecine est l’un des domaines privilégiés où s’opère la mutation des terminaux mobiles en instrument d’observation.

Projecting Your iPad Wirelessly - Without an Apple TV Important update: May 6, 2012 - Mirror to your Windows PC as well Shortly after the release of Relection a second mirroring solution called AirPlay was released - available at Reflection and Airplay both allow mirroring of an iOS device to a Mac. When iOS 5 was released many of us were thrilled with its ability to allow projection (mirroring) of your iPad to a projector using Airplay and Apple TV. A wonderful new app called Reflection has just been released. Run the Reflection app on your MacBook and then switch to your iPad. Once you select your MacBook, you can now display your iPad on the laptop screen (as seen below ... and please don't remind me how many emails I still need to open...). Reflection is a wonderful solution for any situation where you need to project your iPad screen and don't have an Apple TV. When to use Reflection rather than an Apple TV: Can be used to project your iPad in any room. Sam Gliksman samgliksman@gmail.com

Les problèmes des smartphones passés au crible Microphone, batterie… Le smartphone n’est pas encore parfait. Tour d’horizon des principaux problèmes. Si les tests des smartphones sont nombreux sur le Web, il est plus difficile de trouver des informations sur les causes des retours au SAV. Microphone, batterie… Le smartphone n’est pas encore parfait. Si les tests des smartphones sont nombreux sur le Web, il est plus difficile de trouver des informations sur les causes des retours au SAV. Le blog FixYa nous apporte des éléments de réponse avec une étude menée sur les têtes d’affiche des principaux constructeurs. Commençons avec l’iPhone 4s où la batterie concentre près de la moitié des problèmes rencontrés (45%); rappelons que le smartphone de la firme de Cupertino a toujours fait le choix d’une batterie non amovible, une caractéristique que l’on retrouve également sur le HTC One X. Chez les deux smartphones sous Android, les problèmes sont communs. Les smartphones haut de gamme ne sont pas épargnés par les problèmes ! (Source)

How To Connect An iPad To A Smartboard It’s really simple–so simple that you’re going to feel silly for not having already known this–and if you tweet this out to a colleague without checking out the stunning simplicity of it all, you’re going to feel crunchy (remember that term?) later when you realize it wasn’t quite the revelation you’d thought it might be. Context If you’ve only got one iPad, or are trying to guide the entire class through an activity, the classroom projector can act as a modeling tool for students to follow along. By displaying the iPad on the projector, you’ve got an easy way to broadcast your screen–or a student’s screen during a presentation–to the entire class. What You Need Process To use the Smartboard as a projection display, you only need an Apple VGA adapter, the same style you’d use for other gadgets including monitors. Sorry it wasn’t more intricate or secretive than that.

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".

Les applications mobiles des musées, juste des audioguides améliorés ? Le gros audioguide pesant et pas très propre qu'on loue à l'entrée des musées est passé de mode. Il a été remplacé par des "Apps" spécifiques que l'on peut télécharger, le plus souvent gratuitement, dans la boutique en ligne de son système d'exploitation mobile préféré. Deux chercheures grecques se sont penchées sur ces applications dédiées aux collections des musées, afin de voir comment leurs concepteurs tiraient parti des énormes possibilités offertes par les téléphones intelligents, en termes d'interaction, d'interactivité et d'accès à des ressources complémentaires. Les résultats de leur étude figurent dans un article intitulé "Promising beginnings ? Mesdames Economou et Meintani ont donc téléchargé et analysé 71 applications mobiles produites par des musées de différents pays. Les caractéristiques de la majorité des applications sont les suivantes : Navigation, présentation des oeuvres : classique, par salle, par ordre alphabétique ou chronologique.
