As we move into the second half of 2011 there are a couple of themes on the ICT Landscape: Elearning and 1 to 1 computing. You may have read about Orewa College’s plans for next year.
iPads in schools - are we missing the point?
Partly pushing all this is the proliferation of elearning apps and opps (opportunities) which have meant that so much learning can be undertaken with just a web browser whether that’s on an ipod, ipad, tablet, phone or computer. So here are a range of elearning apps that I have seen in the past couple of months:
First up a dictionary of e-learning Jargon
Brainstorming? Gathering ideas? Try Popplet
Writing Re-Launched: Teaching with Digital Tools:
Scribblar – Online collaboration – shared whiteboard.
Students as curators of Information.
