iPhone and iPod apps for Schools I recently decided to investigate other apps that might be useful for teachers and schools. As well as finding some wonderful new applications, I also found lots of really useful iPhone+education related sites: World Maths Day 2010 has a dedicated application which you can use to practise your Maths skills. iPhone for Kids is a wonderful blog which shares ideas and advice for ‘iParents’… those parents who want to give children opportunities to use their iPhones. eduTecher – A wonderful tool which lets teachers find (and share) useful resources and web tools that can be used in the classroom.Many schools are now developing their own applications for teachers, parents and pupils to use. In the iTunes App store, remember that there is a section for Education applications. UPDATE – An ‘iPod Touch Conference‘ took place recently, allowing educators to discuss the use of these devices in education. Do you know any useful iPhone applications that can be used in the classroom?
Understanding Web 2.0 Embed Codes Written by Mark Brumley Embed Code Primer In the world of educational technology, embed codes are often overlooked. However, the more you work with Web 2.0 sites, the more you need to know about embed codes. Embed codes are those really long strings of code that allow you to embed one site into another. A typical example would be embedding a Youtube video into your blog. I use embed codes, or parts of the code, for all sorts of purposes but the main reason is to strip out all of the extraneous parts and only focus on the main content. Also, by using embed codes, I create a list of URL’s, perfect for classroom use, that bypass going to the homepage of a site. In some embed codes, you can find the salient part and copy, paste it into your browser. Youtube Here’s a screenshot of a Youtube embed code. TIP: To cut out all the ads and related videos and create a classroom friendly url, do this: Copy the YouTube URL, for example: Slideshare Prezi Mark Brumley (112 Posts)
An online guide to help New Zealand’s budding computer scientists Young people who grew up in a world of keyboards and screens might think they are naturals in subjects like computer science. The truth is, while they are clearly comfortable with computers, they are not necessarily so comfortable with computer science itself. And yet, computer science is arguably one of the most important subjects being taught in our schools today. Programming is the lingua franca of tomorrow’s economy, and students going on to study computer science may well invent tomorrow’s Googles, Twitters, and Xeros. Unfortunately, the number of students enrolled in computer science declined dramatically in the first decade of this century. That’s why we’re so pleased that there’s been another step forward in computer science education in New Zealand with today’s beta launch of the online Guide for Computer Science , developed by a team led by Professor Tim Bell from University of Canterbury with the support of Google.
Apple TV in the Classroom « PeorBust For the last 6 months I have been trialling the use of an iPad in school. I have tried as much as possible to do everything on the iPad from producing presentations, editing and uploading movies, emailing and browsing, video analysis, score keeping and even my registers. But the biggest change to my teaching was the introduction of an ATV unit into my classroom. This little black box took no time to install and hooked into the school network easily. Virtually straight away I was mirroring my iPad screen through the projector onto the white board and with no cables in sight! I could now teach from anywhere in the class, I was no longer stuck at the front. Keynote is brilliant with ATV. The teacher can choose from a variety of display options. Another brilliant feature of ATV! Because the school network covers the entire site I could (theoretically!!) Kinks in the armour? There have been a few issues that had to be addressed before the full scope of using ATV can be realised: Like this:
Udemy Rolls Out New Publishing Platform To Help Teachers Create Quality Online Courses Online video education is a hot space right now, thanks to the likes of Khan Academy, Coursera, Udacity, StraighterLine, Lynda.com, CreativeLIVE (and many more), which are collectively on a mission to democratize education and bring affordable, online learning tools and courses to a global audience. While the rising tide of video-based learning has lifted all boats, it’s also led to some crowding. With more and more players entering the space, it’s become important for startups to try to set themselves apart from the pack and show evidence of workable business models. Launched in 2010, Udemy has approached differentiation by working to become the go-to marketplace by which anyone and everyone can host, offer and take a video-based online classes. To do so, Udemy is today introducing a new version of its course-creation platform geared specifically towards teachers. Considering the importance of the job they do every day, teachers tend to be an underpaid segment of the workforce.

eduPad Journals-Articles Médias sociaux et espaces communautaires pour enseignants On trouve désormais sur le web des homologues de Facebook, Linkedin ou Twitter réservés aux professeurs ! Découvrez dans cette fiche pédagogique les médias sociaux pour enseignants. Si beaucoup de professeurs utilisent régulièrement Twitter, Facebook ou Youtube, peu connaissent l’existence de leurs équivalents dédiés à l’éducation. Le monde de la recherche et de l’enseignement possède en effet ses médias sociaux spécifiques, qui exploitent la puissance du Web 2.0 en ciblant les besoins particuliers des professionnels de l’éducation. Des espaces communautaires, généralistes ou dédiés à une matière, leur permettent de mutualiser leurs connaissances, partager des ressources, des idées, consulter des documents pédagogiques, ou encore participer à des projets de travail collaboratif. Réseaux sociaux Classroom 2.0 (en anglais) : ce réseau social fédère une communauté de professeurs intéressés par l’usage des médias sociaux et du Web 2.0 en classe. Micro-blogging
ABC: 10 reasons NOT to create a course and 10 other options My colleague, Clark Quinn, recently wrote a blog post, Yes, you do have to change, in which he explained how he felt that “the elearning industry, and the broader learning industry, is severely underperforming the potential”. He also went on to say: “While the industry congratulates itself on how they make use of the latest technology, the lack of impact is leading a drive to irrelevancy. Learners tolerate the courses, at best. Operations groups and others are beginning to focus on the performance solutions available. Executives are beginning to hear a message that the old approach is a waste of resources.” Readers of this blog know that I have similar feelings, and only recently wrote a recent post about how many packaged instructional solutions (e.g. online courses) are clearly not working. Clark says “The best way to change is to take that first step.” To start the ball running here are 10 suggestions as alternatives to courses (with some examples).
