"There is no end to the uses of the iPad in education. I’ve discussed that ad nauseum on this blog. As a learning tool, it has the potential to make a great positive change to learning. The only problem is Apple designed it for individual use. Schools are designed for ( or budgeted for) shared use. Conventional wisdom is for iPad use to occur in a 1:1 or BYOD Environment. In the best case scenario, I wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately, financial realities will often dictate that sharing is the only viable option if we want our students to enjoy the benefits of the iPad. It can be done effectively – I’ve shared my thoughts early in the year about the pros and cons of shared iPads – but doesn’t happen without some time consuming workarounds. What follows is my take on the pains (and remedies) of sharing iPads in a rather large Primary (elementary) school."

"Securing those expensive iPads should be one of the biggest things being discussed on sites like Edudemic every day. But it’s not. Lucky for us, the folks at Intellerum offered us some important insight into the world of iPad, Netbook, and other device security. Long story short, there’s a lot you probably don’t know about."

"Animaps is een gratis online applicatie waarmee u allerlei bewegende elementen aan Google Maps kunt toevoegen. Zo kunt u een pictogram een route op de kaart laten afleggen en bij allerlei interessante punten op die route foto’s of teksten laten verschijnen. Op die manier kunt u bijvoorbeeld de voorgenomen vakantieroute aan uw reisgenoten presenteren. Natuurlijk kunt u dit gereedschap ook gebruiken om de thuisblijvers bij te praten over de wereldreis die u aan het maken bent of om na afloop uw reis te documenteren. Wilt u Animaps gebruiken voor educatieve doelen dan kan dat ook. Met bewegende lijnen of vormen kunt u bijvoorbeeld het verloop van een oorlog weergeven. Nieuwsgierig geworden? Dan snel aan de slag..."
