Diary of a Digital Learning Coach

I've been thinking a lot lately about what it truly means when we say "learning for all".  So often we focus on the big picture of designing learning but when we do, do we miss some of the small triumphs that can happen in the details?   As educators, we are here to seek success for all and that means we need to begin celebrating and sharing the power of what our devices can do for individual learning challenges.   This week, I worked with a learner that struggles with reading.  It made me think...how many of us are harnessing the power of iPad accessibility settings with our learners?

Hello from Apple Training! I am so lucky to be in a district that values learning for all - even me.  My team has spent the last couple of days working with Nelson Taylor, a trainer for Apple.  As I reflect on my learning, I keep thinking about how technology can assist us in reaching ALL learners in a deeper way.   Here are a few techno treats I have learned! Using drawing features, line animation, and audio in Keynote can help learners use modes of learning that are meaningful to them! Check out the  Elements of Learning  multi-touch book to learn more about deeper learning in the classroom! So many accessibility features that are underused in Settings! A couple of great reasons to use Safari on your iPads! What techno treats are inspiring YOU this week?  Teach me in the comments!
