Use our methods - Bootcamp Bootleg | d.school, Stanford University | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

"Every year, we put together an overview of the current iteration of the design process we’re teaching, along with some of our most-used tools. The guide was originally intended for recent graduates of our Bootcamp: Adventures in Design Thinking class. But we’ve heard from folks who’ve never been to the d.school that have used it to create their own introductory experience to design thinking.  The Bootcamp Bootleg is more of a cook book than a text book, and more of a constant work-in-progress than a polished and permanent piece."

Apple iPhone 5s camera leaps two years ahead of entire camera industry – all cameras, not just smartphone cameras

Apple iPhone 5s camera leaps two years ahead of entire camera industry – all cameras, not just smartphone cameras | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

While the tech blogosphere commences the self flagellation over getting it wrong on the whole “Apple needs a cheap iPhone and that’s why it is going to release the iPhone 5c”. The real story, in my opinion, is the one worth a thousand words on each of those aforementioned tech blogs but not getting near that sort of coverage — the new camera in the iPhone 5S. The camera? Yes, the camera.

I need to see from myself if the iPhone 5S is as powerful as an high end DSLR. But there is a fact I have my iPhone with me most of the time, not my DSLR and the better camera is always the one you have with you.

i feel that with the iPhones growing so rapidly, cameras will start to fade into the backround, because i have already noticed that people are taking their iPhones out to take pictures instead of their cameras. it is less effort, because its everything in one, whereas a camera, is only a camera.

This is one of the first resources to actively use digital tools to upgrade the minutes before instruction starts.  In my professional experience this would be very useful.  I think this is a new area that can be developed further to build in opportunities for students to use technology to deepen their learning.  What do you think?  Would you use this new resource?

Free Technology for Teachers: Now You Can Add eduClipper to Edmodo

Free Technology for Teachers: Now You Can Add eduClipper to Edmodo | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

by Richard Byrne

 

"eduClipper, the social bookmarking service that I said teachers want Pinterest to be, can now be added to your Edmodo account and those of your students. The new eduClipper app for Edmodo lets you install eduClipper for all your students with the click of a button. Students can create content and share it with their peers and you.

"One of the things that makes eduClipper an excellent social bookmarking tool for students and teachers is the number of controls that teachers have over their students' accounts. Teachers can specify who students can share with and specify who can read their students bookmarks. These excellent settings are still in place in the eduClipper for Edmodo app."
