Learning is Change

Edit office docs on your ipad for free, including track changes and many other advanced “Office only” features. This was the app that google bought and Connected to google drive. Pretty great.

Interesting distinctions from the department of Ed. What do you think?

I didnt know that filtering could happen at the device level in iOS7. Interesting.

I just saw this resource and online community for story writing and reading. It looks incredibly robust. Another suggestion from Joe Dillon was http://figment.com, Which is along the same lines. For those of you who teach English, I highly recommend getting into communities where writing and reading or a passionate exploit.

 Peter Piccolo, Good to see you here!

This is such a wonderful question from one of the teachers in DPS doing some great Blended Learning work. Any thoughts on an answer from fellow practitioners (or anyone else)?

Was able to grab my iPad and make a Google sheet on the fly so I could take notes as I conferenced with kids during independent reading yesterday. The new Drive for iPad was much easier to navigate and now I have a quick way to sit next to kids wherever they are to set a goal and note something they did well during our reading together. I’ll be able to share this data with students for their own goal setting as well.

What are some quick, meaningful ways you collect data that gets the most bang for your buck? Are there things you do that can really help students with their learning even in classrooms where student tech is limited?
