edshelf is a pretty neat curation tool that in this case Glenda Stewart-Smith of Surrey School District #36 in Canada has used to put together this collection of iPhone and iPad apps to cover all kinds of mathematical concepts in fun and engaging ways. It’s perfect for going on the road and keeping your little ones busy and learning. Delete the scoop?

Two models of learning are advanced: modernistic and traditional. The former is slanted towards younger teachers, whereas the latter - towards senior ones. The debate on future models of learning can be briefly recapped as "virtual versus real-life education".

Food for thought! I think we can't underestimate these new trends breaking into our classrooms... at least in order to be able to see if they will definitely come here to stay. Delete the scoop?

This was very helpful. I love how one of the top recommendations is to "own" your ipad by adding personal apps and exploring what iPads can do.

Absolutely Katie! For both learners and teachers that ownership is important. As someone who has 2 (my personal iPad and my teaching iPad) I'd also recommend that one has the most important/used apps on both (it has happened to me to be missing an important app on my teaching iPad once! Quickly corrected :-)

Huge advocate of Life Long Learning and the use of personal technology breaks down the barrier between the 'classroom' and the workplace.

I like the emphasis on connections---making connections among curricular disciplines and technology uses.

The title of this article is a bit deceptive, it's really about piloting, but does hit on some very relevant points.

This framework is the key to effectively and prophetically transforming our educartional system into a incubator that produces children who gain all the skills, knowledge and innovation they need to compete as successful leaders in our fast moving, ever changing global context.

At the centre of this article there is truth, which is that our children need "new" skills and new ways of developing and using the "old" ones. However, I think there is room for them all, if the curriculum is formulated the right way. Inquiry-based learning, letting the kids ask a question and then search for the answer using a number of resources, is definitely the way to go. Personally I think there will ALWAYS be a place for being able to do maths the old fashioned way, so you understand how it works, but there is also a time to let the technology take you further, to increase that understanding. Room for both.

Linda Alexander summarised my thoughts beautifully!
'While I agree with the basis of this article, we do have a romantic attachment to the past, especially parents who want their children to experience schools as they DID, I don't completely agree with this article. There are reasons for understanding the "way things work" and there are reasons for knowing one's history--as Winston Churchill said, "Those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it." That said, this article really speaks to the way we go about learning and, yes, that has really changed.'

the author uses an app to connect to his iPad to his computer and projector. he can then pass around the iPad to students.

That is all it takes. Being brave enough to change just one thing. Instead of this...do that. Tech is a tool. Pick the right tool for job!

This is great advice for all change - It is often easier to change one thing and then another and another rather than to face a complete transformation. Delete the scoop?

Faut-il encore former les enseignants à son utilisation et à la conception de scénario pédagogique. L'initiative est cependant excellente.

I think it's more about how we can utilise technology in the classroom. It's good to see that some teachers go looking for this lind of stuff. Others will come along after it has been proven. Some won't come along unless pushed.

Good article, although MOOCs are more massive than personal. For personal adaptive learning, platforms like PulseOn or Knewton are more applicale.
