Unleashing Creativity: Greg Kulowiec App Smashing - from Beth Holland Greg Kulowiec begins his session by asking, “Why limit our students to one tool at one time?” With App Smashing, students can create content with a variety of apps and then publish it to the web – don’t let content “die on your iPad.” The general concept between App Smashing is merging content from a variety of apps. Toolkit for App Smashing – keep it simple! The key to App Smashing is the camera roll – use apps that can save to camera roll or take screen captures and bring them in. While the concept is to create content, get it into a central location, and make something with it, now, what can you do???? App Smash Creations Create a multimedia book about whatever concept, topic or idea is happening in class. Create a published web-book that can be exported to the web as a PDF. “Making books if fun, but advanced video can be more fun,” says Greg. The ThingLink Smash is one of Greg’s favorites. Common Craft Videos are also possible as App Smashes. >> View Greg’s presentation materials Save

How to choose the best Ed-Tech tools for Online Instruction How many ‘ed-tech’ tools are out there that can enhance online learning? I’d guess hundreds if not more. It’s almost on a daily basis that I come across a new educational technology tool. Before we move on – what is educational technology or ed-tech??? .. what ed-tech can do when used effectively is to create meaningful, engaging instruction that motivates learners and supports learning objectives of a lesson or course. In this post I’ll share how educators can use educational technology effectively with the aid of a five-step strategy. Examples of Educational Technology To set the context for the strategy, I’ll provide a few examples of technological applications that could be used in an online education environment, one is Jing, a screen capture and voice recording program, another is Voice Thread, a collaborative, multimedia slide show application in the cloud, and Google Hangouts, an interactive real-time communication application available though Google +.

Calm Counter - Touch AutismTouch Autism Calm Counter is a visual and audio tool to help people calm down when they are angry or anxious. The app includes a social story about anger, and audio/visual tools for calming down. The app opens up to a “I need a break screen” that vocalizes “I need a break” when it is tapped. The screen then transitions to a red screen with an angry face and the number ten. With each tap the screen transitions to a calmer face and color. The app also includes a simple social story with line drawings about anger. The settings screen allows you to choose from male, female or no vocals for counting back from ten and for reading the social story out loud. Tried this morning! helpful – Good, my high functioning ASD child has little meltdowns and screaming episodes and he has used this and likes it he is counting backwards and breathing, learning word for word, I love the “I need a break” part.kezaw Similar Apps iPad / iPhone iPad
50 Reasons It's Time For Smartphones In Every Classroom 50 Reasons It’s Time For Smartphones In Every Classroom by Terry Heick There are many ways to use a smartphone in the classroom, but it continues to be a touchy subject. Privacy, equity, bandwidth, lesson design, classroom management, theft, bullying, and scores of other legitimate concerns continue to cloud education’s thinking about how to meaningfully integrate technology in the learning process. To be clear–learning can happen in the absence of technology. But increasingly we live in a world where technology is deeply embedded into everything we do. There will be growing pains, and I’m sure educators that have brought in BYOD programs into their school can come up with 50 reasons it won’t work. Soon, the argument won’t be about smartphones, but rather steeper technology–contact lenses that record, and bendable, wearable mobile hardware that offers AI-produced haptic feedback to guide how students research, skim through information, or connect through media (all media will be social).

The State of the iPad in Education in 2015 Creative Commons License Image Source With Competition Slowly Creeping in, How Goes it for the Behemoth of the Classroom Tablet Scene? When Apple released the iPad in 2010, they took the world by storm, adding another jewel to their crown as the world’s leading provider of technology. The introduction of the iPad also played no small role in Apple becoming the most valuable company in history by August of 2012. Much as education has consistently favored the Mac over the PC, the sector jumped with gusto onto the iPad ‘bandwagon’. So, here we are 5 years down the road. We’ve already seen that the iPad is still the dominant tablet in education … the undeniable king of the ivory-tower topped hill. Moreover, anyone with a decent understanding of tech realizes that it’s not really about the device, it’s about what you do with it, and how well you do it. Assessing the Impact of Well Executed Use in the Classroom Here are some quick insights of a few of these studies: About Kelly Walsh
