Android Tablets vs. iPads in the Classroom: Which are Best for Schools?
The argument between Android and Apple is a polarizing one. You either love one or the other. So, when looking at which devices to put into our student’s hands what should you decide to go with?
Many of the schools we work with are struggling to come up with an answer to this question so we thought we would tackle that on this week’s blog post: What tablet is best for my technology in the classroom platform?

A USB stick PC
"David Braben is a very well-known game developer who runs the UK development studio Frontier Developments, but is just as well known for being the co-developer of Elite.
Braben has developed a tiny USB stick PC that has a HDMI port in one end and a USB port on the other. You plug it into a HDMI socket and then connect a keyboard via the USB port giving you a fully functioning machine running a version of Linux. The cost? $25."

Secret Life of the Mobile User

Secret Life of the Mobile User
The truth about mobile use trends is that habits have been changing for some time.
The stereotype is that the Millennial generation has pushed the use of mobile tech in business, creating the "bring your own device" phenomenon that has very quickly forced enterprises to let go of the corporate-issued-BlackBerry approach to controlling user technology. As it turns out, Baby Boomers -- today's executives and managers -- have led the charge. The median age of mobile workers is in fact 46, or eight years older than the average Facebook and Twitter user.
nother generation gap: 56.5 percent of mobile workers aged 22 to 34 were likely to leave their laptops in the office and used mobile devices for job purposes, versus 34.5 percent for workers age 55 and older. That indicates younger workers are more quickly adapting to using mobile devices as a primary work device, Wastie says.
Users are flocking to the two most versatile, app-oriented mobile platforms: Apple's iOS (used in the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad) and Google's Android.

Survey Results: Mobile learning for ELT
The purpose of the survey was to ascertain the level of awareness and openness to mobile learning among English language teachers.
I also wanted to find out to what degree and how teachers were already using mobile learning both in their teaching and and professional development and to establish whether they would be willing to pay for and use mobile content.
The survey also collected information about the teachers’ existing access to mobile services and the kinds of device they are using to get access to mobile Internet.

Saying no to school laptops

Saying no to school laptops
Ms. Adam is part of a backlash against programs that equip every student in a classroom with a computer.
A few years ago, such programs, which aim to better engage and train students by giving them round-the-clock computer access, were introduced in schools across the country -- often with encouragement from the large computer makers, such as Apple and Dell Inc., that win the contracts.
But now, some parents and educators are having second thoughts over higher-than-anticipated costs and the potential for inappropriate use by kids.

Portable Apps (software)
https://portableapps.com/
A portable app is a computer program that you can carry around with you on a portable device and use on any Windows computer. When your USB flash drive, portable hard drive, iPod or other portable device is plugged in, you have access to your software and personal data just as you would on your own PC. And when you unplug, none of your personal data is left behind.

Hand-Held Devices in the Classroom
https://www.eduscapes.com/tap/topic78.htm
What's the difference between Palms, Handsprings, and other hand held devices?
How can I integrate a GPS device into my classroom?
What's geocaching?
Hand-held devices (PDAs) are rapidly becoming a common technology at work, school, and play. The Palm, Handspring, and other hand-held devices share the same operating system called the Palm OS. You can download free and inexpensive software for your Palm OS from the Internet. You can "hot sync" your PDA with your computer and they work together as a great team.
Besides the Palm OS, other hand held devices are becoming popular. For example, GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) devices may be used with a Palm hand held or as a separate device. To learn more about this technology in the classroom, check out the Geocaching Page.
