- 1. WELCOME 13 October 2011 Helen Robertson My Favourites (at the moment) Cornwall Hill College
- 2. These are a few of my favourite things… (for now) Helen The Great
- 3. Boogie Board RIP, eReader and cellphone as mlearning tools Problems with ICT integration in schools: - Cost - Power source - Controlling internet access - Average teacher does not have time to learn new technology - Equipment outdates before next week
- 4. My personal vision of the classroom in the near future: Boogie Board RIP (or something like it) - eWriter - Cannot download ANYTHING (both pro and con) - Two buttons, save and erase - Doesn’t out date eReader - Load textbooks and worksheets - Low power usage (battery lasts one to two months) - Free text books are available on internet for South African syllabus! - Same eReader can be used for years making it far cheaper than buying textbooks Phones to be used as diaries and access to internet
