Further to the flipped learning discussion on #ukedchat last week and Daniel Edwards‘ brilliant organic post about planning flipped learning in light of OFSTED requirements here, I thought it would be opportune to mention the O2 Learn site. This is a site which has literally hundreds of screencasts and videos…
When thinking about using an iPad to support learning, it is important to remember that the iPad supports learning. It is not going to do the teaching for you. Maths learning is no exception. That said, innovative approaches to using multiple apps can really help with the support of the…
Tonight I’m hosting my first #ukedchat session on Twitter. I’m really looking forward to it. There have been changes in the ‘lead’ over the course of the past week, with Flipped Learning taking an early lead and then ‘Secret Spaces’ fighting back. The poll had 234 votes and 768 views….
Who was it who said that an iPad is only a consumption device??! Here are some examples of some ICT related pages a student of mine created using Comic Life on the topic of ‘Future Developments in Technology’ …
I was really pleased to come across the SketchShare app the other week. I immediately saw some really great potential with it. Some of these key features made it a no brainer for me in an education space: 1) Supporting group work upto 4 people can collaborate anywhere in the…

Following a recommendation I’ve just downloaded the ‘Blogsy’ app for iPad. As you’ll see from the screenshot, there are lots of built in formatting features, which if you’re a Posterous or Blogger user makes it super handy. It makes it super easy too to add in different media with the…
I recently blogged about the power of iBook Author and the new iBooks2, now I turn to iTunes U or the iTunes University app and how it also supports learning. The iTunes U app gives anyone with an iPad the opportunity to follow courses from hundreds of different…
I am pleased as punch to have found a way to link up my Dropbox account with iWork for iPad. And it’s easy. And it’s free. Check http://otixo.com Once you’ve signed up and linked Otixo to your Dropbox account (you can do it with Google Docs too – double…
You won’t have failed to notice the big launch by Apple a few months ago with various links to education. They released 3 big education related items that have (if they hadn’t already) made educational establishments really sit up and notice the iPad as a serious learning tool. iTunesU app…
Some of the best use I’ve seen of apps on the iPad is where teachers have engaged students using apps in conjunction with others. Filming activities, recording audio, adding the media to Keynote and annotating, demonstrating learning – that said, there are some great subject specific apps out there…
You may have read about the use of the two amazing apps Puppet Pals HD and iMovie in the classroom. These great apps (Puppet Pals HD basic is free, £1.99 for the Directors Pass which gives you some cool features such as using your own backgrounds – iMovie is £2.99)…
My wife was nice enough to buy me a stylus for my iPad for my Christmas stocking – she bought me the Wacom Bamboo Stylus from Amazon (Amazon link). Having not used a stylus on the iPad before I haven’t really got a baseline comparison to match it with. I’ve…
So it would appear that it really is the season to be jolly – I was overwhelmed (and a little late it would seem) to find out yesterday that my blog has been nominated for the Best EdTech blog in the 2011 Edublog awards. I would like to take this…
I’ve been searching for some time for an app which will allow me to create my own content and be able to publish it as an ePub. The benefits of being able to publish my own documents in to iBooks as resources for students that a media rich is something…
Among most of my friends it is common knowledge that from the ages of about 19 to 35 I DJ’d at umpteen bars and clubs across Europe and got to play at some enviable clubs and locations. From Ministry of Sound in London on their radio station and in their…
Popplet is a great tool which you can use for free online for a number of different reasons: A revision tool A presentation tool A mindmapping tool An idea collation tool A collaborative tool (you can connect with other Popplet users to collate ideas / work collaboratively) There are lots…
Twitter for developing a PLN What is a PLN? Many people describe it as their Personal or Professional Learning Network – certainly for me, joining Twitter has been the single best thing I have ever done in terms of developing myself professionally. My colleagues often comment about how they can’t…
Google Forms as a tool has probably been one of the single most important web based developments to support how I work in the classroom over the last few years. Whilst pretty simple to use, the power of the Google Form is in its flexibility in the many different ways…
