6 Cool Apps for College Students by Lauren Bailey

Today I have Lauren Bailey as guest blogger. Please be sure to check out her unique guest post. Guest posts are always welcome, please contact me.

Most college courses now have at least some aspects of the course available online. Students frequently communicate with professors, check their grades, receive and submit assignments and work with other students online. Most students now also juggle their social activities, shopping, and most other aspects of life through online media. For students heading to college for the first time or closing out their degree programs, these apps will help you work online more efficiently, save money, and organize your life.

1. Cliqset

Cliqset is the app that all young people have been waiting for. Enter all your social networks or news feeds and Cliqset combines them all into one stream. Rather than clicking around from one site to another, students can quickly follow tweets, get message notifications and view updates all from the same source. This can help students save time and cut back on distractions.
Available here for iPhone.

2. Pulse

Download Pulse and you will automatically be able to see your favorite websites displayed on the same screen in a mosaic of images. This allows you to keep up with current news and stay abreast of new trends all within one browser.
Available here.

3. Kindle
The cost of textbooks is through the roof, and students lucky enough to have a Kindle can save tons of money by buying their textbooks in a digital format. Kindle has over 6,000 textbooks available, and they are viewable on any computer, mobile phones, and tablets. Buying from Kindle will save you an average of $60 per book.
Get it here.

4. Exam Support

Students can use this app to relax and relieve stress during study times or before tests. The app will take you through a guided audio meditation formulated to reduce anxiety. Try it before you leave to take a final or during a study break.
Download the app here.

5. Evernote

This app is one of the best for taking notes on your phone. It is both mobile and web friendly, and students can add audio, photos, and tags to the notes they keep. This allows friends to view your notes by searching tags. It's available for iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Palm Pre.
Download the app here.

6. My Homework

Because no one really has room for a planner anymore when all the information we need is online, finding a great planning app is essential to organizing your assignments. My Homework is great because it allows you to color code all the things you need to do and sort them according to date. It will notify you when you have an assignment coming up or when something is late.
Available for iPhone.

The 20 Best Books of 2011 You Should Read Over Winter Break

Florine Church has been in touch to remind us about this article below.

Bibliophiles, along with pretty much everyone else (except for maybe super harried parents), rejoice once school lets out for the winter holidays. No longer crunched beneath the stress of finals, projects, professors, extracurriculars, and other hallmarks of college-dom, they may now decompress with the simple, satisfying companionship of a hot drink and even hotter new read.

Textbooks give way to something far more voluntary, and the break provides an excellent opportunity to catch up on everything assigned reading precluded. This year saw the publication (or English-language publication) of some truly fantastic fiction and nonfiction works, a few of which may very well enter the realm of the classics in due time. One could certainly do worse when picking out something to snuggle with next to the fire…

1. Swamplandia! by Karen Russell

Lovers of the magic realism style might want to spend their winters in Florida's sweltering Everglades, following the noble journey of a teen girl hoping to pull her beloved family from ruin. Their gator park livelihood stands threatened when the matriarch, as its main draw, winds up severely sick and sets off a chain reaction of total uncoolness.

Five Things Students Want Their Teachers to Know about Online Learning



Photo: Tech & Learning

Kids love having the opportunity to learn online but it’s not merely the medium or the technology that students enjoy. At the recent iNacol Virtual Schools Symposium I listened to high school students who have experience learning this way as well as teachers who have experience with these students, share some advice for making this type of learning even better.

Here is their advice, as well as suggestions for tools that teachers can use to heed this advice.

Advice for Online Learning Educators

1. Socialization is important!

Teenagers value the ability to socialize and they don’t want to lose that online. Provide opportunities for students to meet, get to know each other, work together, and connect deeply in your online classes. Teens want you to make it fun for them. While they certainly enjoy the benefits of working independently, they appreciate opportunities to work in pairs, groups, and with other class members. Help foster this by creating projects and online spaces for them to work this way.

Tools:

• Skype or Google Video: Great for projects where students work in pairs.
• Google+ Hangout: Works well for students meeting and working in groups.
• Facebook Page: Wonderful for whole class discussion and interaction in a space where other experts and students can participate.
• Fieldtrips: Give students opportunties to learn together in the world.

L&D needs clarity in how it communicates: Inside Learning Technologies and Skills December issue

Donald Taylor used his editor’s column in the December issue of Inside Learning Technologies & Skills to call for the L&D profession to get better at presenting itself and at describing to others the value that L&D offers.

In his editor’s comments, Donald Taylor feels that for L&D to be better understood, L&D professionals need to get smarter at how they talk about what they do: “When asked ‘what do you do?’ we often describe what we do in our daily lives - design elearning, manage the LMS, teach leadership, and from there it’s just a short step to 'oh, so you’re in training!'”

Published in digital format, the December issue of Inside Learning Technologies & Skills is now available on the Learning Technologies and Learning and Skills event web sites and contains in-depth articles from leading contributors on the latest trends and developments as well as covering all the major issues affecting organisational learning.

December’s issue includes articles on a new way to distribute content; the next generation of e-learning; creating leaders for the 21st Century; and why L&D should get good at gaming.

Music and Toy Experts Develop Groundbreaking Music App for Kids

Leading toy-industry providers Creativity and Funosophy announced today the launch of DoReMi 1-2-3 for iPad, the first in a groundbreaking line of apps focused on musical ear training and its cognitive benefits.

Kids who play DoReMi 1-2-3 learn to distinguish the building blocks of musical pitch and melody, without even realizing it. Pre-launch play testing has already garnered fans.

Julliard alumnus Dr. Joshua Garrett led the development team behind DoReMi 1-2-3.

"We're beyond the idea now that simply listening to Mozart can improve your kid's cognition," said Garrett. "It's been thrilling to see kids have so much fun while they actually learn to play songs by ear."

Do Re Mi 1-2-3 


To commemorate the launch and celebrate the holiday season, Creativity is offering customers who purchase the app two free song worlds until the end of the year—Jingle Bells and The Dreidel Song.

When is a course not a course?

We're all used to training courses covering specific topics, but with e-learning, the course can be whatever it needs to be.


Photo: FreeDigitalPhotos.net


Like many training companies, we deliver lots of courses - you only have to browse through our course catalogue. It's a straightforward process - you select what you intend to learn, book on the course and away you go.

But what if you want to learn a lot of related topics which aren't covered within one course? Is the only option to attend more than one course?

Well, it depends on what you're learning. If you need to learn those topics in depth, then it may well be - this is what happens when you take a professional certification track, for example

This is fine when an individual is the learner, but how about when you need to train hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of people? All of those additional learning days really can rack up the cost. The issue is actually bigger than that. Standard training courses aim to be relevant to as many people as possible - so teach a broad range of topics. Yet, your learners may not need to know all of those topics - so a percentage of the learning quite literally wastes time.

Merits of online learning unclear

"Many families view K-12 online schools with skepticism.
They question how a computer could possibly replace discussion and debate in a classroom. Or the passion conveyed by a teacher. Or the experience of working in teams.
They doubt their children would learn as much online." writes Anne Ryman and Pat Kossan, The Arizona Republic.

Photo: FreeDigitalPhotos.net

Supporters of online education like to tout a 2009 analysis by the U.S. Department of Education that looked at 12 years' worth of online research from 1996 to 2008. The report concluded that, on average, students learning online overall "performed modestly better than those receiving face-to-face instruction."

E-learners perform better, study finds

The better results showed up in one type of online education: blended learning, in which online is combined with face-to-face instruction in a particular class. Students in blended, or hybrid, learning performed better than those in online-only or face-to-face classes. Online-only appeared to be as effective as traditional instruction, but not more so, researchers said.

The report added a caveat to the blended classes. Researchers said factors such as more learning time in the blended settings than in face-to-face classrooms could have produced the better results.

Using Twitter in High School Classrooms by Bill Ferriter

Photo: Bill Ferriter

"Not long ago, I met a super-motivated team of teachers from Westfield High School (Westfield, Ind.) at my Teaching the iGeneration workshop in Cincinnati.
They were particularly interested in the different ways that Twitter can be used in schools. To help, I turned to the teachers in my own Twitter network for ideas—and while the examples shared were as diverse as the digital peers that I learn from, they seemed to fall into three broad categories:" writes Bill Ferriter, The Tempered Radical.

Twitter can be used as a backchannel, encouraging reflection and conversation among students.
As a guy who needs to speak out loud in order to process information, I love to tweet during workshops and professional development presentations simply because it gives me the chance to interact with ideas without interrupting the people near me who are trying to pay attention.

Twitter can help students develop their civic voices.
Social media spaces are changing how elections are won and lost—and how politicians operate. President Obama has initiated a series of Twitter Town Hall meetings where he answers questions submitted through the microblogging platform. Even Gordon Brown, longtime Prime Minister of the UK, recognized that policy can't be made without listening to people in social spaces.

Twitter can become a place to imagine.
Danah Boyd, a Senior Researcher at the Microsoft Research Center who specializes in studies on the ways that digital spaces are changing today's kids, has noted that Twitter can be a more playful place for teens than Facebook.

Website connects teachers and students around the world by Jennifer Amato

"About four months ago, physical education teacher Sarah Diller approached Jeffrey Bradbury of the music department at North Brunswick Township High School." writes Jennifer Amato.

TeacherCast.net

She saw Bradbury’s use of an Apple iPad in the classroom, as well as a projector screen and a computer, and inquired about how to use the iPad in class.

Bradbury had already been podcasting last year, asking students to create a 20- minute video on the history of rock and roll, and letting fifth-graders in a summer program interview teachers and principals.

“I’ve always been able to teach with technology and get kids to understand they are not just teaching themselves but they are teaching each other,” he said.

Welcome to TeacherCast 



So began the inspiration for TeacherCast.net, a website Bradbury created in September as “a place for teachers to help other teachers,” according to his motto. Because there is a growing need for educators to effectively understand and utilize modern methods in the classroom, he included blogs, app reviews, video demonstrations, screen casts, a career center and other resources on a free database for teachers across the globe.

Another part of TeacherCast is the Live- Binders section. Students create digital portfolios that represent a three-ring binder for anyone to see. Content, research projects and assignments are listed in a digital textbook type format. Students can see how many people are viewing their sites, and receive feedback as well.
