    Now that I’ve sobered up a bit from the e-creeping data snatching revealed to me by Ghostery, I am ready to look at some other sites / applications. First of all, I found the sites somewhat Big Brother-ish… this watching of live, raw, unsorted data… it almost felt like I shouldn’t be watching the information […]

    http://ca.news.yahoo.com/creators-canadian-designed-tablet-hope-bring-internet-entire-112507389.html Interesting venture-related article on a couple of Canadians hoping to get $60 tablets (running on $2/month limitless Internet plans that run on cellular networks) in the hands of the entire world. In a somewhat-related story, I was talking about augmented reality with a couple of musician friends of mine before a show yesterday (they […]

    For me to adopt m-learning for my own teaching and learning, the major hurdle is our server situation as well as our Internet. We would need to be able to have widespread WiFi, and we should have our own dedicated computer / server system. Right now, we are tied in with Health, which can cause […]

    – One problem in performance could be spelling. – Students could, with their device, both look up proper spellings as well as do exercises to help them with their spelling – ones geared towards the patterns / specific things they’re having trouble with. – The mobility of the device allows students to check their spelling […]

    The questions to apply are: what problem does the app solve? what affordances of mobile does the app rely on? what are the non-mlearning (competing) methods of teaching the subject? how is the app’s mlearning approach more or less compelling than the competing methods? (consider cost, accessibility, learning outcomes) what changes are needed to make […]

    Do I have a good m-learning device? No! My laptop is OK, but it’s not mobile in the sense we’re talking about this week. I would not use my cellphone for m-learning. Why? – It’s about ten years old. – There’s not much a screen, or interface. Mostly just the regular buttons of a phone […]

    What, when, where and how am I doing m-learning now? I’m not. If we are talking – as outlined in the intro – about cellphones, at least. I still have and use the only mobile device I’ve ever had – a circa-2001 Nokia. I have never felt that I needed or wanted a newer phone […]

    In my teaching, I have used several PBA’s, even in just the last couple of years: Blogger and WordPress VoiceThread Webquests Glogster Museum Box ToonDoo, BitStrips, and Pixton All academic benefits aside, I enjoy using them with my students, as I like the variety of products I get to see and (in more cases than […]

    I’m always forced to stop and think (a good thing, perhaps) about the similarities and differences between the ideas of project, product, and problem-based learning. For my own understanding, I always seem to think of them as fairly similar – the main differences being that in problem-based, there may be no final answer or product, […]
