Ballpoint pens will be the ruin of
education in our country. Students
use these devices and then throw
them away. The American virtues
of thrift and frugality are being
discarded. Businesses and banks
will never allow such expensive
luxuries.
-Federal Teacher

5.
Why the iPad?

6.
What is Average?
“Options are essential to
learning, because no single way of
presenting information, no single
way of responding to information,
and no single way of engaging
students will work across the
diversity of students that populate
our classrooms.”
David Gordon, 2011

7.
Making Differences Ordinary
If inclusion is to be successful and
students with disabilities are to be
part of the learning community,
there must be a fundamental
change in the general education
classroom so it is accepted that
not all students will learn the
same things, in the same way, at
the same time. (McLesky & Waldron, 2000)

8.
What’s the goal?

9.
There’s NOT an app for everything!

10.
Techno-centric planning might lead to
something like this....

13.
Some Considerations...
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
what purpose or task will the app facilitate?
who is the target user?
app- any special features?
app- cognitive demands?
app- set up?
app- sensory demands?
app- physical demands?
deepen content or concept knowledge?
deepen engagement?

14.
But How to Choose?
•
It’s crazy!

Rubric or a
Checklist?

How to use the
Padagogy Wheel:
It’s All About Greymatter Grids (GGs)
Graduate Attributes & Capabilities
Requested by CEO's and executives .... the people that hire, what
they desire to see in graduates from higher education.
• Having energy, passion and enthusiasm
• Being willing to give credit to others
• Empathising & working productively with diversity
• Being transparent and honest in dealings with others
• Thinking laterally and creatively
• Being true to one’s values and ethics
• Listening to different points of view before coming to a
decision
• Understanding personal strengths & limitations
• Time management skills
• Persevering
• Learning from errors
• Learning from experience
• Remaining calm when under pressure
• Being able to make effective presentations to different
groups
• Identifying from a mass of information the core issue/
opportunity
These are some of the capabilities that should be identified as
part of our graduate attributes and woven into the fabric of our
courses in the activity design. We need to have transformation at
the core of what we do as teachers, if it is all about the students.
Don't jump into learning outcomes, activity design and choosing
technology without first reflecting on graduate attributes and
capabilities then how to improve motivation and engagement.
Miss these and your course design will be weaker for it.
Please visit the blog post and listen to the podcast episode at:
“If you exercise these capabilities.. you will be employed!”
Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
This Taxonomy wheel, without the apps, was first discovered on the website of Paul
Hopkin’s educational consultancy website mmiweb.org.uk That wheel was produced
by Sharon Artley and was an adaption of Kathwohl and Anderson’s (2001) adaption
of Bloom (1956). The idea to further adapt it for the pedagogy possibilities with
mobile devices, in particular the iPad, I have to acknowledge the creative work of
Kathy Schrock on her website Bloomin’ Apps

The success of technology has more to do with people than
machines. All the right parts and pieces together won’t work
miracles by themselves. It is people who make technology
powerful by creatively using it to fulfill their dreams.
Alliance for Technology Access, 1996
