Liens Utiles, plus de 45000 références pour tout connaître ! Create Your SMART Lessons from home for free! Jul Picture this: You are at home and you have this awesome idea for a Smart Lesson but your not at work to build it. You look at your computer and you don’t have Smart Notebook installed. If we head over to to the Smart Notebook Express Website , we will be presented with 2 options. Here we can create a new notebook file or open one that you already have done. I will say this application does have some limitations, it is a little bit “laggy” and its not the fastest thing in the world. The Express edition would also be great for stations in a classroom where you could set up a different assignment (like a grammer activity where they have to correct the sentence) at each station. If you need ideas for your lessons, check out my previous article “ So you got a Smartboard, Now what? How could you use this in the classroom? Thanks No related posts.

50 resources for iPad use in the classroom The transition to the more extensive use of technology in classrooms across the West has resulted in the integration of bring your own device (BYOD) schemes, equipping students with netbooks and tablet computers, and lessons that use social media & online services. Gesture-based technology is on the rise; according to the latest NMC Horizon Report, gesture-based technological models will become more readily integrated as a method of learning within the next few years. The iPhone, iPad, Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect technology are examples of these kinds of developments, and in particular, resources for Apple products in education are becoming widely available online. For teachers, some of which are just beginning to use tablets and mobile devices in class, these resources can be invaluable in promoting more interactive classrooms and understanding how best to use and control such products.

L'homme sur Mars : Les contraintes d'un voyage vers Mars Une mission humaine vers Mars pose de nombreux problèmes. On ne peut pas en effet prévoir, dans l'état actuel de nos connaissances, les effets sur un organisme humain d'un vol aussi prolongé que le vol vers Mars. En moyenne, un aller simple vers Mars prend entre 6 à 9 mois. L'homme n'a pas séjourné plus de 14 mois dans l'espace, ce record étant détenu par le cosmonaute Valeri Poliakof à bord de la station spatiale Mir. Cela indique certes que l'homme doit pouvoir supporter sans trop de dommage un voyage vers Mars, mais cela ne nous donne aucune indication sur ce qu'il risque de subir et d'éprouver une fois à la surface de la planète rouge. Que savons nous finalement d'un vol prolongé en absence de pesanteur, des conditions de travail à la surface de Mars et de la capacité des astronautes à supporter un retour à la gravité terrestre après un séjour de plusieurs années dans l'espace ? Gravité zéro ! Le mal de l'espace Fragilisation des os Atrophie musculaire Action sur le système respiratoire

Un extrait d'une vidéo YouTube exportable sur Facebook et Twitter, c'est maintenant possible! La start-up française Viewrz, spécialiste de la capture et du partage de vidéo, innove avec une nouvelle fonctionnalité : couper une vidéo YouTube pour en faire un extrait exportable directement sur Facebook et Twitter. En 4 jours, plus de 2000 VU ont été enregistrées sur le site de Viewrz, et ce sont les scènes cultes de films comme La Classe Américaine et OSS 117 , et des passages courts de sketches célèbres qui sont le plus plébiscitées par les utilisateurs. En moyenne, les séquences embedées sur Facebook sont de 15 secondes, et sont postées en commentaires. Pour le moment, cette fonctionnalité n’est disponible que sous Androïd et sur ordinateur, mais la start-up compte motiver YouTube à développer ce levier de viralité sur iPhone et sur tablettes. Lancée en 2011, Viewrz a développé une technologie capable de récupérer le flux de programmes vidéo, et de partager les séquences en quelques secondes sur les réseaux sociaux.

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?” 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. iPad apps and Bloom’s Taxonomy iPad apps and The Digital Learning Farm Related 27. 15. 20.
