Technology in the Education Arena

Attended a session sponsored by Apple yesterday entitled “Tour of 21st-Century Learning.”  It was a great day.  I knew about a lot of the tools but they not only focused on the tools, but focused on project-based learning with the tools and integrating areas of the curriculum.  We, as students, did research that we posted on our wiki, then created a summary podcast and posted the podcast on our blog.  We moved on to another session and did scientific research using digital probes and microscopes.  With the microscopes, we took digital images and created an iPhoto book where we also posted the data from the digital probe.  It was a great day and I had good company — Nancy and Beth.
