Coming from a students point of view...I think Ipads would create more interest in the curriculum and keeps a childs attention better. Chilren already love video games and the latest technology, so using this to an educaters advantage could only be…

With advances in technology and their integration into learning, this is the direction we are headed. Time will come when hardcover textbooks will become obsolete. The questions of the best device, the best system, and the best way to implement them…

They have their own pluses. I read this a month ago - http://www.parentcentral.ca/parent/education/schoolsandresources/article/798060--california-school-first-to-use-ipads-in-classroom And also got to know about a school in UK which is planning to…

http://gizmodo.com/search/frog%20dissection/frog%20dissection adds more 'meat' into how iPads can be used for learning.

Antwon; Nice post. I think that eventually, iPads will be a "Game-Changer" as you said. While I was in Denver at ISTE 2010 I attended several sessions, and had many informal discussions about the iPad. Also, I was inspired to write about…

Hi Antwon, iPads are defintely going to change the educations scene. Check out the wired magazine on the iPad and how interactive it is. Imagine teaching students using this level of interactivity -…

Larry Sandberg replied to Antwon Lincoln's discussion 'iPads in the classroom...can you see it?'

I love some of the iPad apps which have an immense educational value and can complement what you learn in classrooms. Math Board, Star Walk and Frog Dissection are a few amazingly crafted apps. Frog Dissection is very new and does provide great…

Tom Welch replied to Antwon Lincoln's discussion 'iPads in the classroom...can you see it?'

Still struggling with a current definition of "closed platform". Have you read Jobs' commentary on why they are not supporting Adobe Flash on the iPad? He speaks to the "closed platform" issue, and Apple's rejection of…

Amy Holzman replied to Antwon Lincoln's discussion 'iPads in the classroom...can you see it?'

It's different because the students see it as different from those other devices. They are comfortable with the interface. They ask to do their research on my iPad even with laptops right there for them to use. I agree with Tom. I've seen…

Donna Lasher replied to Antwon Lincoln's discussion 'iPads in the classroom...can you see it?'

I could not agree more, Tom! I am fortunate to be in a position to facilitate independent research a great deal. My G/T students are learning all about how to do research (evaluate sources, synthesize and summarize information, paraphrase, and…

Tom Welch replied to Antwon Lincoln's discussion 'iPads in the classroom...can you see it?'

Thanks for the post, Antwon. I thought I would like my iPad. I don't. I LOVE it! I was one of the geeks waiting for the UPS truck the day they were delivered. Game changer? You bet, as part of a spiraling trend that is gaining momentum with…

Amy Holzman replied to Antwon Lincoln's discussion 'iPads in the classroom...can you see it?'

I saw my iPad changing learning this last spring. My students would actually read anything I handed them if it was on the iPad. Handouts, well you all know what kids usually do with handouts. If you don't, ask the custodians. What I'm…

Jacqui Murray replied to Antwon Lincoln's discussion 'iPads in the classroom...can you see it?'

Aside from all the wizz bang techie stuff (I'm a tech teacher, so I can say that), I can see iPad's as a wonderful paper-saving device. Instead of all the print-outs my school uses, push them out to iPads, one at each desk, or shared.…

I am part of a new school opening in August and we will have five IPADs per classroom, plus more avaiable for check-out. I'm still in awe of this, but very excited! We are going to expose the kids to both Apple and PC (kind of a digital dual…

iPads in classroom should create a flutter and more excitement in learning. I thought of quoting the reasons, but this post is just perfect: http://www.schooltechnology.org/2010/06/24/7-reasons-ipad-change-education/

iPads in the classroom...can you see it?

Hello Community,Well, I bought an iPad. I could not resist the temptation. After I walked out of the Apple store with my iPad, I knew I wouldn't have buyers remorse. I seldom buy the first generation of anything!However, I have a feeling that this device (the iPad) will be a gamechanger in education, and I needed to understand why. Let me explain.Every time I walk in the Apple store I see kids (young and old) crowding around a table of adults to experience this device. Now, I should not be…See More

I really love all the links in your box. I use Simply Box for a staff development class showcasing technology and curriculum resources. I would like to add your box to mine, if that's okay with you.

Check out the articles in The Reading Teacher and Phi Delta Kappan about it. Or read more at: in2books.epals.com.

At 7:19am on March 5, 2009, Steven Katz said…: Antwon, I just added a group that I think you might be interested in, “Educational Technologists.” http://www.classroom20.com/group/instructionaltechnologists I am hoping this group can grow and we will be able to support each other and collaborate so that we can better support our colleagues.

At 5:18pm on January 11, 2009, Eric Sailers said…: Thanks for the compliment regarding my video! I just shared it with my district last week, so we're not quite to the point of using the Wiimote whiteboard district-wide. I'd like to see that eventually. For now, I've had at least a few educators (throughout the district) who are going to use it. I plan on working specifically with a couple of them to pilot the whiteboard.

Feel free to contact me at egolfer6@yahoo.com. We can talk more about implementing the Wiimote whiteboards in classrooms.

Will keep you updated on our progress.

At 11:21am on January 11, 2009, Cindy Seibel said…: Hi Antwon. Thanks for making the connection. I'm interested in reading your book and have subscribed to your podcast.
I'm in the unusual position of being the district tech leader as an IT professional (my background) but also having some background in learning and now completing my M.Ed. I truly feel I live on both sides, and most times on top, of the proverbial IT/Teacher fence.
You can check out my post Teachers talking to IT, and IT talking to teachers where I'd love additional input to make it a useful tool.
Also, can you announce when your website will be complete - there's a few links that I'm sure will include more useful material.

At 3:45pm on January 5, 2009, Kelley Inden said…: Thanks, Antwon, for the encouragement. Hopefully I will be able to encourage others and be a help to others soon. Cheers!

I was just having a conversation about your book with Melissa who commented below. I would love to read and discuss it. It is great to have you on CR 2.0 and your discussions are always great.

Your book sounds fascinating and I'd love to read a copy!

Social Network Sites For Middle School Students Should be Banned...Really!

Posted on April 30, 2010 at 4:20pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

Greetings Community,

I am begining to understand this Web 2.0 world (Finally!). I read various blogs discussing the marits of this new

world in education. Love the buzz in the Classroom 2.0 site. I am

shifting to see educational benifits beyond the Web 2.0 hype

(Sorry...some of it is hype). Part of my challenge is I work in an

elementary setting. K-6 students online is a very touchy subject in my

district. We are still embracing Web 1.0.

I stumbled… Continue
