We also reckon that this large-scale disruption doesn\u2019t come with an instruction manual. And we\u2019d like GEDB to be part of the answer to that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">It\u2019s the pulling together of a number of different ways in which all those involved in education (teachers, parents, administrators, students) can make some sense of the huge changes going on around them. So there\u2019s consumer reviews of technologies, a forum for advice, an aggregation of the most important EdTech news and online courses for users to equip themselves with digital skills. Backed by a growing community on social media (here, here and here for starters).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">It\u2019s a fast-track to digital literacy in the education industry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">GEDB has been pulled together by California residents Jeff Dunn, co-founder of Edudemic, and Katie Dunn, the other Edudemic co-founder, and, across the Atlantic in London, Jimmy Leach, a former habitue of digital government and media circles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Addendum:<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/static.squarespace.com\/static\/50eca855e4b0939ae8bb12d9\/t\/533d72dbe4b0cc3fc1b83905\/1396536027618\/iPad%20Apps%20That%20Are%20Also%20on%20Android.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Favorite educational iPad apps that are also on Android<\/strong><\/a> &#8212; from the Learning in Hand blog by Tony Vincent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>App Ed Review &nbsp; &nbsp; From the About Us page (emphasis DSC): App Ed Review is a free searchable database of educational app reviews designed to support classroom teachers finding and using apps effectively in their teaching practice.
