Apple’s e-textbook announcement critiqued

Via Scoop.it - #iPadChat

On first glance, this seems to be a rebrand of the iTunes U bookstore focused on schools of all levels – an evolution of existing technology, not a revolution. iBookstore already allows authors to distribute books. The ‘new’ e-textbooks appear to be ePub3, a standard that already is in production and has the potential to work on more than just an iPad. Apple’s iWork Pages application already has the ability to “Export as an ePub”, although the new authoring tool should have a more robust feature set. Furthermore, an ePub can already be opened in iBooks without going through the iBookstore distribution channel, via email. However, Apple’s marketing strategy, as always, is fascinating and potentially extremely effective:

Initial Impressions of Apple’s New Education Initiatives

Via Scoop.it - #iPadChat

You might have heard that today Apple had a big event to launch their new K-12 marketing educational products initiatives. For the sake of full disclosure I will tell you now, that I have not had hands-on experience with Apple’s new offerings yet. I hope to have time for that in the next few days. These are my initial impressions based on reading the promotional materials, reading some other blogs, and some short exchanges on Twitter. Remember, these are my initial impressions and I reserve the right to change my mind.

Managing Individual Education Programs (IEP) on the iPad

Via Scoop.it - #iPadChat

Individual Education Programs (IEP) can be difficult to put in place at the best of times. IEP’s are sometime a source of concern and frustration. The more informed people are about the IEP process the better the IEP can be. Parents will normally work with teachers to develop a plan to help the students succeed in school. The IEP assists this process by describing the goals the whole team sets for a student during the school year, as well as any special support needed to help achieve them. Here are a number of apps that make managing and collecting data for the IEP Process just that little bit easier.

#BYOD Issues with Amazon #Kindle #Fire

Via Scoop.it - Mobile Tech Learning

The Amazon Kindle Fire has come blazing into schools, especially those with a BYOD focus. After all, Xmas just went by, and kids are dying to show off to each other what “Santa brung them!” Of course, I’m still trying to decide if I want to buy a Kindle Fire for my own use. I’ve already decided that the iPad 3 is a device I will probably invest in, but since I love my B&N Nook (the original), I don’t need to invest in yet another device. My kids love their Amazon Kindles ($79 model).
