I want to help empower our learning community to design, hack, build, collaborate, remix, share and explore in all sorts of ways. In essence, I strive to contribute toward building a learning community that is open-source, accessible and inspired by principles of DIY. Is the iPad the best platform for cultivating such an ideal?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

from: The Digital Down Low: Some critical questions about iPads and 1-1 learning<\/a><\/p>\n

Along with some other interesting other ones questioning the idea that ipad 1-2-1 is a good idea.<\/p>\n

I do not think that we, in the UK, are yet in a position where there is an overwhelming belief in the iPads as a good thing in the classroom.<\/p>\n

I do think that iPads are a good tool for some aspects of collaboration, remixing, sharing and exploring. They are, in my opinion, excellent digital story telling devices. <\/p>\n

I wonder how many school with more open devices are doing much in the way of DIY hacking and building. There is a lot of online discussion: eduHacking \u00b7 linkli.st<\/a> but I don’t think much penetration into mainstream has happened yet.<\/p>\n

I do believe that we are seeing some extraordinary effects in iPad 1-2-1s. Some of this my be the novelty effect, but there seems to be something special by having ubiquitous instant on, easy to access computer power in everyones hands.<\/p>\n

It may be that the collaborative and creative environment that 1-2-1 ipad use seems to foster will grow into a desire for the complex making that Matt Montagne wishes to foster. This may lead to interesting apps or a demand for more open devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
