iPad et éducation sont des mots qui ne vont pas bien ensemble Le site OpenSource.com étant soutenu par Red Hat qui soutient également le projet OLPC, il n’est guère étonnant de les voir réagir lorsque l’on se permet d’affirmer que l’iPad pourrait être meilleur que le petit ordinateur vert pour enfants pour lutter contre la fracture numérique. Difficile de leur donner tort. Il faut dire que d’un côté on a un produit pensé pour les enfants (cf cet extrait vidéo de Télématin et l’interface pédagogiquement révolutionnaire Sugar) et de l’autre un énième produit Apple aussi beau dehors que totalement vérrouillé dedans[1] L’éducation et l’architecture de contrôle de l’iPad Education and the iPad’s architecture of control Gunnar Hellekson - 4 février 2010 - OpenSource.com(Traduction Framalang : Poupoul2 et Daria) Comme la plupart des travaux de Jonathan Ive, l’iPad est beau. En d’autres termes, l’iPad et ses frères ne sont pas des ordinateurs personnels. Pour autant, cela ne fait pas d’Apple le diable. Alors, lorsque M.
7 Ways to Collect Student Work in an #iPad Classroom #staar Next week, I'll be facilitating a short one-hour workshop on a topic that is deceptively simple on a computer, but can be complex on an iPad--how to get student work off an iPad in a place where the teacher can get to it in ONE place. This short blog entry tries to offer some solutions. Let me know what you think, ok? Many apps--here's a short list--will output to WebDav, video or image format that ends up in your Camera Roll. For schools deploying iPads in carts, some options are outlined below: WebDav Server - This is the best option because you can show students how to put/get their content in a central location. When considering HOW to get information off your iPad, you need to remember the following: Terms of Service for various solutions may prevent K-7 (ages 5-12) students from using online, or cloud, storage solution. This list below is no particular order of preference. Update: You may also find this blog entry with video tutorials worth your time. Read more about it here
Texting in the Classroom: Not Just a Distraction The Pew Research Center released new data this week on Americans' text-messaging habits. According to Pew, 83 percent of American adults now own cell phones and almost three-quarters (73 percent) send and receive text messages. The research only looks at adults' usage of text-messaging, but it does find that younger adults are much more active texters than older age groups. Cellphone owners between the ages of 18 and 24 exchange an average of 109.5 messages a day -- that's more than 3200 messages per month. That's compared to about 41.5 messages a day for all cellphone owners, a figure that's largely unchanged from figures reported in 2010. The Pew study doesn't look at the texting habits of those under age 18, but a study released last year by Nielsen found that those cellphone users in the 13 to 17 age range were the most avid texters among any age group. Certainly that age group -- in fact, all those under 18 -- are increasingly likely to be cellphone owners.
Des élèves de sixième craquent pour la tablette! Ordinateur portable ou tablette numérique? Les élèves de Catherine Grégoire, enseignante de sixième année à l’école Saint-Charles de la Commission scolaire des Chênes, préfèrent leurs iPad, plus faciles à utiliser, moins encombrants et plus efficaces. « Je ne m’ennuie pas des portables », indique l’enseignante dont la classe en était équipée l’an dernier. Dans un monde idéal, chaque élève aurait son iPad, mais pour l’instant la classe dispose de dix appareils pour vingt enfants. « Je me trouve tout de même chanceuse d’en avoir dix et le partage se fait très bien entre les enfants », assure-t-elle. Les tablettes numériques demeurent sur le bureau des élèves toute la journée. Ils en font une utilisation de plus en plus grande avec le temps. « Les enfants les utilisent quotidiennement pour toute sorte de choses. Le fait d’avoir toujours la tablette à la portée de la main permet une certaine spontanéité de la part de l’enseignante. À lire aussi : Les tablettes numériques en vogue au primaire

Teacher Resources and Classroom Games :: Teach This Une (autre!) école privée succombe au iPad Après les collèges Jean-Eudes et Saint-Jean-Vianney, c’est au tour du Collège d’Anjou, à Montréal, d’adopter la populaire tablette numérique d’Apple. Plutôt que de commencer à équiper les plus jeunes comme les deux autres établissements, le Collège d’Anjou vise plutôt les adolescents de 3e et 4e secondaire. Ceux-ci devront être munis d’un iPad 3 dès la rentrée en septembre. L’implantation se poursuivra l’année suivante pour ce qui est des autres niveaux. Les appareils ne seront pas loués, mais vendus aux élèves. L’école dit vouloir contribuer à développer quatre compétences « du 21e siècle » chez ses élèves, soit collaborer et interagir avec les autres, faire preuve de créativité dans la recherche de solutions, développer un esprit critique et un jugement sûr quant à son identité numérique et enfin développer le sens de l’engagement et de l’entrepreneuriat.

Five Fun Free iPad Apps for Elementary School Teachers And Students These free applications provide a wide variety of engaging learning opportunities for young students (and you can’t beat the price). The Apple iPad is becoming more popular in our schools every day (just check out this EmergingEdTech video to appreciate how quickly the iPad is gaining hold in our schools). It’s really a great tool for the younger student, with its ease of use and touch screen functionality. I spent a few hours this weekend downloading and trying out apps and ultimately selected these five to share here. Preschool Memory Times Table Trainyard BrainPop’s Featured Amazing Shape Puzzle Lite V About Kelly Walsh Print This Post Seven Videos All Educators Should Watch - StumbleUpon Summer is a time when many of us are thinking about and planning professional development workshops for our schools and for other schools. I've always found that a short 3-5 minute video can be a good introduction to a PD sessions and or make for a nice thought-provoking break during a PD session. Here are seven videos that I think serve those purposes well. The "classic" of course is the various incarnations of Karl Fisch's and Scott McLeod's Did You Know? Version 4.0 is embedded below, but I still prefer this version. Educational Change Challenge is a video that I came across just last week on the first day of ISTE 2010. Here's another "classic" in the field. Social Media Revolution is a must-watch for all of those who think social media is nothing more than a time-sink. And when you're wondering what teachers make, Taylor Mali has some answers for you. Finally, on a lighter note for fans of The Office.
You are not doing an iPad project You are not doing an iPad project. You are using iPads in your classroom, but that by itself is not a project. If the project is more specific, then name it so. If you want to find the 10 best apps to use with for literacy in Year 7, with a particular focus on boys, then call it that. The iPad is something shiny which may or may not enable you to achieve your aims. Nothing about the iPad is remarkable in pedagogical terms, there is no magic learning dust. You are not doing an iPad project. Because even if the shorthand you use to refer to your project when talking to other people is ‘the iPad project’, then you’ve put the technological cart before the pedagogical horse once again. Because as remarkable as it seems, one day in the not so distant future, the iPad will no longer be the shiny, must have, fetish object du jour. You are not doing an iPad project . . . you are doing a teaching and learning project Image is creative commons (so I’ve not robbed it), by Wolf Gang. Like this:
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?”“I want to use iPads in my Science class. 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 Related 27. 15. 20.
