It reminded me of a book I saw in the 1980s (or 1990s?) called <i>The Mac Is Not A Typewriter</i> and Alan November's book <i>Empowering Students With Technology</i> that talked about the same kind of thing.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-39096125567641144302010-06-24T13:56:32.796+01:002010-06-24T13:56:32.796+01:00Thanks David - I've never heard of the SAMR mo...Thanks David - I've never heard of the SAMR model, but it seems like a great way to frame the way we think about technology integration.Bethany Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655830077415298653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-70475245398352765872010-06-23T23:35:09.786+01:002010-06-23T23:35:09.786+01:00Thanks Michael.

I am a bit concerned tough about such sensitive personal information being stored on a portable (and easily lost) device. Is the data encrypted in any way?<br /><br /><br />Hello Bethany<br /><br />Your comment reminds me of the SAMR Model of technology adoption (see for example <a href="http://transformingtechnology.blogspot.com/2010/03/samr-model.html" rel="nofollow">The SAMR Model</a>). I would be quite happy if note taking uses got the technology in there because I suspect the more innovative uses would follow.<br /><br />Let us know how your students get on with their iPads.<br /><br /><br />Hello Juliet<br /><br />I think the iPad is ideal as a data collection pad for a whole range of activities.

I've blogged a wee bit about this and would suggest than many apps benefit from the bigger screen. <br /><br />My interest stems from taking learning outdoors and what relates to this or would work well outside. Here 's a link to my blog index which may be of use here: http://creativestarlearning.blogspot.com/p/help.html<br /><br />Best wishes<br />JulietJuliet Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035975039896986525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-48086887628510454752010-06-17T15:57:41.868+01:002010-06-17T15:57:41.868+01:00I actually heard an interesting comment the other ...I actually heard an interesting comment the other day (and I wish I could remember from whom), that they like the iPad because it forces teachers to think of using a digital device as something besides just note taking. That the issues in some 1:1 programs are that teaching isn't changing and laptops become glorified pen & pencils. It would be interesting to see if this is true.....<br /><br />P.S. I have really enjoyed my iPad so far - we will see how our students do with it.Bethany Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655830077415298653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-79179361572461108362010-06-16T20:27:03.058+01:002010-06-16T20:27:03.058+01:00a few more:

It hadn't occured to me to look for that ttype of app. We are just about to move to Moodle and there are a couple of Moodle apps that might be worth checking out.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-27989027626115332482010-06-15T14:06:32.287+01:002010-06-15T14:06:32.287+01:00if blackboard actually gets round to it: http://ww...if blackboard actually gets round to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZuMOdHad2YMichael Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13837372676192293008noreply@blogger.com
