Mobility in Ed
Gorden Shukwit - Director IT and Learning at Apple
Mike Mann - director Ed UK and Ireland - taken over from John Botham
Mobile - fits in your pocket
Portable - doesn’t fit in your pocket
once we see things in one way, it is very difficult to see them in another way - the child’s eye view, a fresh eye
could work as row of houses for art project - see it or not see it - negative/positive
everyone can become a publisher, so how is content verified
digital context - distant is not distance - can not control content
how to organise content - downloading loads of stuff
classify stuff that is downloaded - scott ohio
technology adoption cycle, Rubin Pentadera, Main
early childhood - mimic
substitution - technology acts as a direct tool substitute, with no functional improvement
like word to paper - paper has inherent ease of use, we can hand out bits of paper
standard digital alternative - very easy to duplicate
substitute - take something in the real analogue world and take it into the digital realm - in industry, this is to identify function, and then automate
Individual learning plans - each person learns differently at their own pace and on different things
real and substitute for real - where was I seeing this? tennis racket? on poster
technology has a wow factor - when applied it becomes much more difficult
how do I augment the technology
what can I do that I could not do before
enthusiasm on the X axis, time on the Y and a line like a snake
Technology Adobption Life Cycle
substitution - tech acts as a direct tool substitute with no functional improvement
augmentation - tech acts as a direct tool substitute, with functional improvement
modification - technology allows for significant task redesign
redefinition - tech allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable
reading book
screen
the biggest thing on the word processor was the spellcheck - dictionaries are everywhere
new ipod has screen reader voice over -
zoom in to focus on a particular bit of the screen
business productivity model -
monetary or revenue driven
cost reduction (productivity)
highly restrictive
software solutions are functional
network centric
total cost of ownership
learning model
knowledge creation and dissemination
creative exploration
collaborative, interactive and ad hoc
software solutions are expensive
user/student centric
total opportunity of ownership
productivity vs learning
schools have to deliver both - buy server space, memory, use servers for both uses
using screen sharing to see the process - see what students are doing - the working out - screen capture
mobile devices designed around the concept of Me - personal devices
mobile devices are beyond the cart full of laptops
the iphone is a personal device
A digital learning enviroment
Access Create Distribute
Laptop, desktop, network etc is Us - iphone is Me
enterprise programme for the iphone - create an app for the iphone - does not use itunes - send url and app can be downloaded to iphone and touch
look at this - how do we create apps for enterprise programme?
digital certificates
url is consistent - this is where it is at
updating apps - push
international schools may be very nomadic
certificates or identity - anyone can download the app, Apple will deliver for free, but only people with service/identity can use app
behaviour that it influenced by technology, but does not manage behaviour - lift example
acceptable use policy - how is this enforced?
cat and mouse - technologies that prevent people doing something - but they get around it
audit procedure, not filters - tech won’t work - young folk will work around it - so audit - watch - don’t play cat and mouse - audit is key
social behaviour - Colditz
don’t rely on computers being locked down
see if students can break into database
use behaviour and social network to ensure standardised and normalised environment
microsoft exchange activesync support
not laptops for every member of staff - iphones! iphone - built in VPN client
smtp - simple mail transport protocol
mobile devices in school - use over summer, then log in on first day to receive services
iphone configuration utility
bunch of touch’s in school - use device configuration to update all - use these to register etc - sims on ipod touch?
Bretford mobile cart - for charging and sync
Get everyone talking together
