Considerations for deploying the AppleTV in your school or enterprise — from williamstites.net by William Stites

Excerpt (emphasis DSC):

We are begin­ning to look at using the AppleTV in our school as part of our iPad deploy­ment but much like the iPads them­selves we are in the posi­tion of try­ing to fig­ure out how to deploy and man­age a con­sumer device in the enter­prise (schools to all of you).

The rea­son for con­sid­er­ing the use of the AppleTV in the class­room has every­thing to do (for us) with Air­Play. The abil­ity to give any stu­dent the oppor­tu­nity to share what they are doing on their device with the class and demon­strate their learn­ing is amaz­ing — – can you say bye-bye Smartboards!

But as I play with this idea and dis­cuss it with my col­leagues there are some man­age­ment issues and ques­tions that I have…

AirPlay Mirroring & Apple TV — from Steve Zalot

From DSC:

  1. Steve has a nice list of related resources and some helpful items re: deployment considerations such as the network, security, and audio/video considerations.
    .
  2. This topic directly relates to one of my dreams for our “Smart Classrooms” and learning spaces (and why Steelcase’ MediaScape product is exciting and gaining traction)—  to enable students to “play” media from many types of devices (laptops, smart phones, tablets, etc.) without disrupting the flow of the classroom!
    .
  3. Apple must address the network, security, and A/V-related issues for this to really take off in our learning spaces — but if and when they get by these hurdles, amazing results will soon follow!

If children in the United States could switching learning places/environments…

On 03/07/2012, in engagement / engaging students, K-12 related, learning spaces, motivation, by Daniel Christian

From DSC:
A friend of mine is in Nigeria and I wanted to post an excerpt of one of his updates:

We visited the Reformed Combined Secondary School project and met with the leadership to review progress at the school.  Over 150 students are at the school during its second year and many more are expected next year.  The school has unbelievable challenges but the students are eager to learn and the Alumni supporters and churches have been working so hard to build the school.  This is a boarding school and the conditions are very overcrowded.  There is no place for a cafeteria and yet the kids were so exuberant and enthusiastic about their school.  There are additional classrooms being built today and new dorms will be starting soon.  The staff and school board don’t know exactly how they will make it but they could only tell us how they saw God providing.  The kids had been going about 1/4 mile to get water for every need, there had just been a successful borehole drilled with plenty of water.  Within a few weeks a new water tank will be installed and the distribution system will be built.  They were so excited that after a year and a half they won’t have to spend the time walking for water and will be able to spend more time on studies.  To that end there was also a generator being hooked up so the children could study at night.  Again, they have been working for 18 months without any way to study after 7 pm other than a few candles.  Any one of these circumstances would seem impossible to work around, yet the kids think little of it.   The most encouraging part is that the leadership of the school consists of two tribes that have a history of fighting each other.  They have come together for the sake of this small Christian school and have committed themselves to making a go of it against the odds.  The project has been largely funded by local donations.  We are working as advisors and resource people for the school.
 
I wonder how this would affect children in the United States if they switched places/environments for a while with those children in Nigeria…?

Learning Space Design Resources — from the University of Arizona

The University of Sydney: Standards for learning spaces

The University’s vision of learning space for the 21st century is a student-centred, quality assured, seamless environment encompassing physical and virtual networks that promote engaged enquiry. The Learning Space review will contribute to a shared view on learning and teaching space and facilities and the related issues of flexibility, capacity, innovation, integration and sustainability. Learning space will be developed and evaluated in line with these principles to develop best practice standards for formal, informal and virtual learning and teaching space.
