Peter Mellow's curator insight,
August 20, 2014 10:40 PM
I would really like to see 'how' they used the devices in the classroom. I can see this as another case of blame the technology (device) rather than the learning design for the activities.
I would have thought that a device with a range of scientific instruments included in it (gyroscope, accelerometer, two cameras), would be more useful for collecting and reporting on data/events than a keyboard with a screen. Sounds like a typewriter vs an educational swiss army knife to me.
Do we want our children to be able to ask the right questions with inquiry based learning or be able to type 40 words a minute? |
