The History 2.0 Classroom: Explain Everything X 4 Ways | BSD Digital Learning | Scoop.it

"When it comes to flexible iPad apps, nothing quite fits the bill like Explain Everything. Developed as a screencasting app (in my opinion, the best in the app store), I have recently found that I am using the app for anything but screencasting. ``

At first, everyone was confused about where to find work, where to save and store their products – and which app to use for what purpose.

After an exciting year chalked full of learning lessons and changes in our learning landscape here are my takeaways:'

Personalization vs Differentiation vs Individualization Chart

"There is a difference between personalization and differentiation and individualization. Barbara Bray and Kathleen McClaskey developed this chart on the differences on approaches to teaching and learning.

The chart clearly explains that personalization is about the learner and the distinct difference in the learning environment."

iPads in Primary Education: Changing the Pedagogy: Independent Learning in Science

iPads in Primary Education: Changing the Pedagogy: Independent Learning in Science | BSD Digital Learning | Scoop.it

"Pupils in year 6 have been using iPods since September on a 1:1 basis with a focus on using the technology to support learning, develop productivity, independence and impact on pupil progress across the curriculum. The devices haven’t been used for everything, but are available as a tool to enhance the learning for any given task. Alongside this there have also been frequent daily occasions when the best tool for the job has been: pencil and paper, scissors and glue, laptop and printer, a good book and silence. The role of the device was made clear to pupils, parents and staff at the beginning of the year and the planned outcome has always been to use the technology, if it was the best tool for the job to enhance learning."
