Educational Technology

  „A Florida school district that tested an interactive, web-based textbook in place of a traditional textbook for a half year in six classrooms found that students were more focused and engaged and completed more homework. Despite the pilot project’s success, however, educators involved in the program say few schools are ready to replace their print versions with electronic ones anytime soon.“

@CONCORD: Perspective

  „As a result, using handhelds in the classroom for anything but probes puts a huge burden on the teacher for both technical and educational support. It is time both educators and vendors woke up to the possibilities. Educators should be demanding support for handhelds from vendors, and vendors should be supplying far more options that use handhelds.“

Ajay's Weblog: Handhelds in Education

  „The main focus of the meeting was to come with some sample applications for the handhelds (more specifically Palm OS based devices) that could enhance the reading skillls of the elementary school children. I use the word "enlightened" as I got to know what is expected out of the handheld application to meet the educational objectives. A killer mobile app in education would be something that allows students to enhance their skills in different areas like reading, writing, speaking, listening and critical thinking (and more that I am not aware of) and yet should be easy to use.“
