Mobile Technology and Education

Sam Gliksman - wrote ipad in education for dummies

Stereotype
Boring, doesn't connect to their lives

Models are still built on old system
Access, lineated
Ownership of information-master and demonstrate
To-down structure
Expect students to adapt (students expected to adapt to the way we teach not us adapt to how they learn)

It's NOT all about the technology it's about being student-centered
There's so much information out there. It's what can I do with all of it, how
It's networked. the teacher is only part of the circle
They are not passive participants they are publishers of information (heavily satureated with the medium)

how we communicate has changed dramatically (capture, edit share instantly)

Using video to demonstrate Understanding: Mr Formato, Thayer School for physics
Objective: To create and document a demonstration of how frames of reference apply to the observation of motion

Video is a great language for students to communicate their message

Screencasting  (explaineverything program) works well on ipad (white screen) demonstrate your understanding by demonstrating and narrating (vocalize your understanding)  Explaineverything will give you option to put on YouTube or share through other means

Time-lapse phtotography (using ipad) take photos and then compresses them into video file Brings experiments to life SO using media to document and investigate

Using animation: the graphical novel
Objective: Using animation to relate a story graphically

Green screen (reasonably priced on Amazon) ipad has applications for $3

Attitudes towards media use
1.Regarded as trivial
2. Used as alternative activity
3. Any video is a good video (don't set standards)

We need media literacy standards

Coordinated Audio
Noteability and record options for audio (for students to record teacher as the student is taking notes)
