I läroplanen för gymnasiskolan står det: Undervisningen ska anpassas till varje elevs förutsättningar och behov. I Lgr11 står samma sak men med ett förtydligande: Undervisningen ska anpassas till varje elevs förutsättningar och behov. Den ska främja elevernas fortsatta lärande och kunskapsutveckling med utgångspunkt i elevernas bakgrund, tidigare erfarenheter, språk och kunskaper. Vad innebär då detta för oss som lärare? Vi börjar med Google Chrome. I filmen drar jag ner SpeakIt, som är en talsyntes.

However, by using the DocHub Chrome app, this capability is now possible on any device. Students and teachers can login to the DocHub app (or DocHub.com) using their Google account. From there, it is possible to upload any PDF, text document, or Microsoft Office file from Drive, the web, or even your computer/Chromebook download folder.

I honestly think textbooks are on their way out…or at least I hope they are. Really it should read “Flipboard as core curation artifact for classrooms” but that wouldn’t have you here reading now would it. I’m in love with Flipboard.

Why Flipboard: Can be installed on all devices! Flipboard Magazines: This really is the game changer. So basically a teacher would have a flipboard account….set up a magazine for thier class and then “flip” all the articles, resources, etc they want students to access into the magazine.
Class as Content Curators: Of course….that would work but I think we can go farther. But Wait There’s More! Feeding Our Students' Reading Interests with RSS. Anyone reading this post right now -- whether on your computer, tablet or smartphone -- knows that the interfaces for reading have indeed changed.
Whereas just a decade ago, touchscreens were still a novelty, today they permeate our lives. And, according the Pew Internet Project (1), teens have a device ownership rate of 68 percent for smartphones and, overall, 91 percent for cell phones. As devices proliferate, the amount of information we encounter each day grows. Despite their access to more substantive reading material, however, our students are most often consuming what journalist Clive Thompson calls "short form (2)" writing -- status updates, tweets, text messages -- without digging into other texts.
Edutopia writers have long promoted RSS (3), and it is time now that we apply some of our wisdom about how to develop PLNs (4) to make RSS reading a regular part of our students' lives.
