You can hear them both present at the April 10-12 EdTechTeacher iPad Summit in Atlanta!

Educational Technology and Mobile Learning: Cool Graphic on Learning in The 21st Century As I was checking the backlinks to Educational Technology and Mobile Learning I came across this resource from ISDIPED.

More specifically I liked the table featuring the difference between traditional learning and 21st century learning; something I have talked about in depth in my 21st Century Skills Teachers should Have post. I am sharing it with you below together with the quotation I came across in that PDF. Just to let you know , I am working now on an e-Book on The 21st Century Learning which I will share with my readers here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning once it is ready.
A Case Study: Using Google Drive In The Classroom A Case Study: Using Google Drive In The Classroom by Johnathan Hardison first appeared on gettingsmart.com “More efficient than an overworked teacher!

Yes, it’s Google Drive…free application offered by the California-based internet giant with resourcefulness and organization more astounding than some seasoned educators of many years. All right.

Adding “Game” to Your Classroom: Can Video Games Enhance Motivation? The idea of incorporating video games into our classrooms is a relatively new, and for many of us, intimidating notion. Put simply, by planning video gameplay – or aspects of it – into our lesson and unit planning, we can reach our learners in creative and alternative ways. Many of our students spend countless hours online and using video game systems; adding “game” to the classroom is a potential way to merge the home and school spheres of interest – to boost student learning and motivation. […and your “inner” teacher asks…] I am currently planning a unit where I will use Mario Kart Wii as a vehicle to carry curriculum and address learning goals for my grade 8 students. The educational world is in flux and constantly changing. Our purpose as teachers is to educate students to be critical thinkers and lifelong learners. Start with the students.

Transforming a school ICT suite to a future proof Discovery Centre - @Ideas_Factory The blog of Julian S. Wood So as promised (a while ago) my school’s journey from a traditional ICT suite of rows of computers to a ‘Discovery Centre’ fit for the 21st century. Taking a cue from my 5 year vision for ICT (unbelievably a year to the day of posting on here) Here’s a picture of the original ICT suite, complete with rows of desktop computers and an obligatory interactive whiteboard at the front. So we started gathering ideas from pupils about what ‘future learning’ might look like and what they needed to make it happen. So we came up with our ‘Discovery Centre’ a multi-curricular, multi-discipline, multi-technological headquarters. We even have a secret reading den! Wybourn Discovery Centre on PhotoPeach Here’s a plan to see exactly what it looks like. Yes it’s quite a transformation and yes it did cost a great deal of money (30,000 English Pounds!) This video by Melinda Kraft about teaching in the 21st Century inspired me. Written by Julian S Wood - www.ideasfactory.me/about/"rel="author"
