Twitter can be used in education to engage students and foster interaction on course topics. It allows for brief, concise discussions that encourage reflection on learning. However, discussions may go off topic or become non-productive without proper classroom management. While Twitter can reinforce concepts and provide insights from experts, not all students have access and it could potentially distract from learning. Educators should define clear rules and ensure Twitter enhances rather than replaces traditional lessons.Edu 218 web 2.0 presentation

In 2009, Irynsoft started as a company to deliver online educational content on mobile devices--specifically iPhones. Planning to deliver this software as a service to colleges and universities, Irynsoft co-opted open education resources and gave away the software to gain credibility, support initial adoption, and learn about usage patterns and customer reaction. The goal was to obtain 10,000 customers to show how the technology sufficiently scaled. Less than two years late without any money spent on marketing their apps, Irynsoft has become a pioneer in open education on mobile devices, accumulating over 100,000 downloads of their platform and served up terabytes of free video content to support partnerships including MIT OpenCourseware and Khan Academy. The wildly successful apps have led Irynsoft to dramatically change their business strategy to focus on supporting open courseware's adoption through specialized tablet devices resold by Irynsoft themselves. This talk will share a history lesson of the past two years of a unique company, the habits of the early adopters of Irynsoft's technology, and why Irynsoft is convinced that mobile is the future of open education resources.Alicea torres dariana mobilepresentation

The document discusses using iPads as a language learning tool. It outlines the four stages of innovation development: need, research, development, and commercialization. For need, iPads would replace a costly language lab and each student would have their own device. Research shows language learning apps on iPads provide authentic materials and social networking. The development is intended for both teachers and learners, though cost is a problem. Commercialization saw over 14.8 million iPads sold in the first year, and schools are providing electronic books on iPads instead of paper textbooks.Thesis presentation 1: Learning 2.0 with special needs

Generation Z learns significantly from mobile apps, with over half starting to use mobile devices between ages 5-8, and over 70% of parents agreeing apps increase children's learning and creativity. Developing effective educational apps for kids requires focusing on skills building, short sessions to avoid addiction, and pilot testing with children to improve the app and ensure it is easy for kids to use independently. Outsourcing app development to an experienced firm can help with ideas, age-appropriate content, staying updated on trends, and using analytics to improve the app based on user data.Concordia University | Social Media 101 | Adding Value With Content

This document provides an overview of the SQ3R active reading strategy. SQ3R is an acronym that stands for Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review. It guides readers to first survey the text to understand its structure and key points. Readers then turn headings into questions to answer while reading. As they read, readers aim to answer the questions they posed. Upon finishing each section, readers recite answers to their questions without looking at the text. Finally, readers review by re-asking all their questions and ensuring they can answer them. The document encourages active engagement with texts using these SQ3R steps to improve comprehension and retention.Smart reading part 1 active and passive reading
