TABLETS AND PERSONALISATION

We can teach them how to make presentations with tablets

# data[].attributes.body
As I wrote in previous Padlet My students have started using the tablet this year and after observing, listening, exploring some applications suggested by me they have realized activities for then post them on the platform of some projects eTwinning to which we participate. My students love it, as all the kids today, to work with these new tools and the results are satisfactory. There are applications with different levels of difficulty, this allows students to personalize their learning rhythm based on their capacity.

As a beginner in using ONE tablet

in my classroom, I think I will first

download some readymade games

to encourage students to repeat

exercices. It's not as difficult to

hear or see the machine saying

"wrong answer" as if it's a

teacher...

Anyway, this use of the tablet is to

build the student's self-confidence.

A feed-back will be necessary. I

wonder if I could have a look on the

number of the student's attempts.

It would allow me to discuss about

why re-attempting, in a face-toface

situation or with the whole

class.

Using the tablet would serve to

take conscious of their own

learning process.

Students can use different apps to make the learning easier and more fun, they can work in their own pace.

I can not give specific opinions because we have not yet tablets at my school, and thus does not yet use this technology with my students.
My experiences pass through the use of computers and other tools that I have. And in my personal opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not have the possibility to use tablets at school and all the staff that Sergio already mentioned, but I am going to start a project that "must use tablets" and solve everything

# data[].attributes.body
I do not have possibility to use tablets in schools, only in specific times and need some bureaucracy to do so. However, I imagine using Scratch a possible thing to personalize learning with tablets.

# data[].attributes.body
I only have a little experience with tablets at school and I have never used Aurasma or Edmodo (but after this course I will!). This school year I partecipated in An Hour of Code with 143 students and using tablets both at school and at home was a good way to personalize their learning experience that I could check through the dashboard.

# data[].attributes.body
I use my tablet to work coding and my students used that very well. For the personalisation they like different apps for example tellagami, takeStory or ToonTastic or Hopscotch.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that pupils can work at their own pace. I discovered Quizlet and Thinglink. I have found these apps very useful for personalisation. We haven´t tablets for pupils yet, but I want to be ready for that day when we will get some.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never worked with tablets in my school but I usually work with tablet. For me tablet is an indispensable toll in my daily job because it let me work better and more. I'm sure that it will be the same for my students.

# data[].attributes.body
We can give the opportunity to our students choose according to their skills, level and preferences the tools and apps that must be used for each task and also we can ask them why they choose the specific tool each time!

# data[].attributes.body
I can think of a couple ideas to use tablets for projects, vocabulary quizzes, short writing tasks, self-evaluation.

# data[].attributes.body
There are applications with different levels of difficulty. This allows each student to tailor your learning pace based on their capacity or otherwise. Also, you can work different applications that we achieve the same objectives but considering adjustments in cases of students with difficulties or deficiencies. Develop stories with pictograms or text (TEA), with or without sound (hearing impairment)...

# data[].attributes.body
I use khanacademy,aurasma

# data[].attributes.body
SO many ways. Access to audio versions of text books is one of the most obvious and one that should be more widely available to increase inclusion in education.

# data[].attributes.body
We don't use tablets in school. I must admit, that some schools feel happy that they even have pcs. Nevertheless, I hope that one day I will be able to use tablets in my subjects.

# data[].attributes.body
I my self like to use Khanacademy when my students are working with math. Here I can both personalize and encourage them to work in pairs or smaller groups. I also like to use Aurasma for making flipped teaching. It is important to also listen to the students when it comes to their learning, they often have suggestions for apps to use that suits them.

# data[].attributes.body
I work with with special needs students. tablets can be used to personalize the learning experience of my students because in this way the students can be excellent in creative ways that are not related to reading and writing.

# data[].attributes.body
We have new projects with tablets..

# data[].attributes.body
Learning with tablets let each student advance at different speed, following his own way.

For the teacher, it's not easy to follow the process of every student. There's a lot of information to consider in order to evaluate them. It's a great new but the teacher must manage with it.

I have never worked with tablets in my school.

Tablets are personal devices. It's in their nature to be adapted to their user.
The use of tablets in the classroom should not be understood as an extension to what is already done daily. The tablet has a very unique versatility allowing the development work much freer , with a dynamic, with a completely unique pace. Can be moved freely in the classroom , it can be used in addition to other devices (computer, projector , etc.) , can be used to take pictures , make videos , share documents , access the Internet , in short, the possibilities are immense.
Some approaches of work:
• Assign groups of students an identical task (with a well-defined goal, so that the
task can be performed without intervention of the teacher ) but that should be
performed using the tablet and one of the following : Whiteboard (which
currently exist in almost all schools and are being underused ) , with the
computer or an iPod ;
• Working pairs or trios , where each member has a task ( a student and encouraging
recalls the task to be performed and notes the other findings , for example ),
which should be performed in a predefined time and the task is then displayed
on a whiteboard that can be photographed (using the tablet ) to review later.

Normally a tablet can be used individually by students to :
• Take notes;
• Organize students;
• Research;
• Presentations;
• Work from home ;
• Document sharing ;
• Reading .

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that using the tablet to develop their artistic talents (music, drawing, movie, singing etc) is very useful for the development of the pupil.

This year we used the following apps:

Sketchbook pro and iDrowe

# data[].attributes.body
I don't teach with tablets but I think

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not using tablets in my school, but we are trying to use them in the near future. I believe they can be a very useful tool for some students whose learning rhythm is not the same as the large class group, this will certainly help them to keep the enthusiasm of learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I use sometimes tablets with personalized learning using Moodle and Google Apps. With this two online tools together with tablet apps is possible to students really personalize their learning environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I've never worked with tablets in my school, but I use web 2.0 applications such as Moodle and I think that using tablets I could have more interactive lessons,more personalized teaching  and the student will able to code mobile sw applications

# data[].attributes.body
I had the opportunity to use both mentioned Apps: Aurasma & Edmodo.
On Edmodo I usually post the tasks and "collect" the students' results.
With Aurasma I did something else: I asked the students to create a small video about their school schedule and what books they have in their back.
Only one girl did this task, but after she showed her video in the class, ALL the other students wanted to make a similar video! I also asked them to choose a picture to use it as a trigger for the video on Aurasma! The outcomes were amazing!

# data[].attributes.body
It's possible to use tablets when we do experiments in our classrooms or calculations, so everyone can take a personal time and read the instructions themselves. Also if there are tasks with different levels, they can start from the level they feel confident and to take more advanced tasks as their knowledge grows. It's a good feedback for the teacher too to see the progress of the student.

# data[].attributes.body
I have used tablets in my mathematic classrom for my 5th grade students.We have used team up to make groups and for mapping we have used papers because they don't know English very well .They have used internet and their books for exploring Triangles.And they made an presentation with using Goanimate ..that was very fun for them .

# data[].attributes.body
Wonderful ideas. I have not used tablets yet. I will.

# data[].attributes.body
As I have no experience in using tablets in schools I think it still depends on the needs of the student. While one likes to present a result within a movie, using the camera and apps like imovie, others might like producing an ebook with the help of book creator

# data[].attributes.body
The main opportunity that tablets give to students is to personalize their knowledge. This is because they can express what they discover, learn and produce in a personal way through the use of apps that help their productions.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never used tablets in education, but it seems to me that can be quite useful to focus on student learning, developing their independence skills and their self-confidence. The use of right Apps and well structured projects can be a real asset. The teacher can provide more personalized materials to each student, giving feedback for their work.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not have experience working with tablets in my school, but often use web 2.0 applications such as Moodle, popplet, padlet, ... With the use of tablets everything would be easy, interactive and appealing and makes it possible the personalised learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Tablets should not be considered only a cheap substitute for pcs. as they ahve so much more to offer. Downloading the right app can simplify your life. So personal needs are met more easily by tablets. But this is just me...

# data[].attributes.body
I don´t have experience in working with tablets in the school. The first step for the teacher is knowing the pupils and their capacities and tastes. According to that there is a wide variety of apps that can be used to personalise the learning when using the tablets at school. Also when the teacher ask for a task, for example making a presentation, they have many possibilities to choose the way that suits better their preferences.

# data[].attributes.body
At my point of view I think that tables are one of the best tool to do self centered teaching.

Because provides a huge range of App's which we can used depending inf the needs of our pupils

Also, each student with his tablet can personalized in they way they like and that its such a great advantage for them. They can see the tablet something important for them and a tool to enjoy and learn

# data[].attributes.body
There are a lot of different ways of learning with tablets, that's the great thing with that. It let the learning be flexible and adapted to every student.

# data[].attributes.body
I have seen in many posts by colleagues that padlets allow the teacher to provide a variety of resources and learning activities to suit different learning styles. While this is true, it also applies to the use of computers in a school computer lab. I beleive that the main advantage tablets have over PCs is mobility. Nowadays, we have many students who have Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder who can perform tasks much better when they can move around and/or use their motor skills. Tablets allow for the class to work in a variety of environments that can provide the stimulation that these students need. For example, taking photos and collecting notes with a padlet during a field trip or a visit to the museum can motivate most students to engage in learning at a deeper leveland even more so for students who have ADHD.

# data[].attributes.body
The key for me using tablets (or laptops) in class is the personalised learning. It makes it possible for me to match every single student with specific learning material, specific level of difficulty and so on. The possibility of giving and getting feedback between our classes is very useful for me, since I meet my students only once a week. Much can happen in that time and know my students have a chance to share that with me.
So, for me, it´s (almost) all about communication. What a great tool the tablet is!

# data[].attributes.body
I think tablets can help personalise student's learning experience because each one has the chance to learn according to his/ her individual pace, taking the notes they consider useful to accomplished their tasks, using their most suitable skills  to follow the teacher's instructions. Even special needs students can benefit from the use of this new technology.

# data[].attributes.body
I have already worked with Aurasma. Unfortunately there is still very little helpful material in Portuguese that uses this app. A teacher has to create everything from scratch, which is more time consuming and makes it impossible to use with lots of my projects (I am still creating the materials in my own time). Then the project requires that the groups’ final product is an Aurasma with a video developed by the students, then yes this is a little my simple to implement.

As previously stated I have not worked with Edmodo but am really looking forward to doing so. TED-Ed is a very good app I can choose a video, present contents and learning objectives, use multiple choice (with timed hints) or open ended questions and use the think deeper section to add articles and references so that the students can do some more independent learning. The learner can go to this app and learn independently while they register their results.

Tricider is useful in collecting ideas and voting on them. Its features are more limited. Both Tricider and Linoit are good for independent brainstorming sessions. The QR codes are a very attractive way to motive the students to go to the other app and start using them.

What other ways can you think of how tablets can be used to personalise the learning experience of your students?

SS can use GLOGSTER app on their tablet to create an interactive poster. That is my experience-however, my students worked on their computer because they do not have tablets. The interactive posters nicely show how SS are individuals- the design differs, the structure, the tone of the poster text. And SS's confidence can raise too-because they can see a nice result that they have made themselves and they mastered a technology.

The PERSONALISATION was created in the choice of topic. E.g.-introduce your school and one of my SS chose school academy because he likes this and has been active for four years in it. Because he was writing about his favourite aktivity he had many good ideas and insight.

# data[].attributes.body
- learning at their own pace is very helpful for everybody but especially for shy and introvert students

- they can dicover and reveal their talents and strengths and work on their weaknesses

- they can communicate with the teacher in different ways if they are not willing to have face-to-face communication

- they can follow their progress and talk about it or show it (badges)- treasure hunt - QR-Codes

- create exercises for another class or group

# data[].attributes.body
I strongly believe that motivating and engaging students in learning improves their achievement. As Dewey states, “If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow.” (Darrell M. West, 2011)

Giving teachers the right tools (eLearning or using ICT as a tool) helps them facilitate teaching, learning and student collaboration both within the classroom as well as outside. Tablets do support personalised and pupil-centred learning, enabling the possibility of ‘anytime, anywhere’ learning, including outdoor learning opportunities. Tablets offer new capabilities and possibilities for learning and teaching. If used properly, they support independent, differentiated and personalised learning. Tablets have the potential to introduce more FUN into learning, facilitating higher levels of pupil motivation and engagement.

In our school, students use the tablet every day across the curriculum, both at school and at home. Teacher prepares differentiated learning paths for students to follow. Most of the time, she gives them tasks to work on, either individually, in pairs or in groups. She uses the Google classroom to create and organize assignments, provide feedback efficiently and easily communicate with students even when they go home. For brainstorming, students use Popplet or the Forum in iLearn, our VLE. They also use google slides to share and/or present their work.

One of the drawbacks is that not all teachers are ready to work this way. There must be a change in teachers' mentality. However, one should also mention the fact that syllabus is too vast plus we are too much examination oriented. Some possible solutions would be trimming of the syllabus but most important of all is embedding ICT across the curriculum. This should be the way forward.

# data[].attributes.body
Tablets and other technological devices like smartphones let the students access anytime anyplace to the lessons.

I think one of the best learning approach related to achieve a personalised learning it may be the use of learning management systems like moodle.

I use a platform based on moodle where any student can work on her own pace, when they want and with the use or tablets or smartphone wherever they are.

How I can personalize the learining experience of my students. There are many ways for personalize the lesson using the tablets. I can use pictures, photo, texts and videos but, above, I can use many programs, seen during this course, present online.

How as I mentioned, I used Prezi and Socrative but I'd like use PowToon and many online programs known thanks  to this course.

The most valuable asset is the fact that it is tangible, themselves and at no cost to the school. Students appropriated from the device and learning is much easier and motivating. Above all learning is more interactive and it is this other educational advantages.

Some students in my school said sometimes that someone has a smartphone in his room, but I never seen it, so I can't say that it is true. So, it is impossible for my students to use a smartphone or a tablet in his "home". And, at the school, only without the internet and we haven't got tablets enough to make 1:1 method. Finally, I can't add any interesting thing to this question.

# data[].attributes.body
Under my point of view, using tablets allows our students to create its own learning. I mean that they all depart from the same port but they can sail their own seas in order to arrive to the “goal”. They can sail in different ways, adapting them to their own possibilities, skills, interests...

I think that mobile phones and tablets are a great help for teachers and students to learn. I do not use tablets yet, but sometimes I use laptops and mobile phones in class. Sometimes I use PhotoMath, an app to get the results of many mathematical problems such as basic arithmetic, fractions, decimal numbers and equations. Moreover, the steps option explains how to solve the problem step by step. In my subject, I use the app to teach scale for drawing and sketching. PhotoMath can be used in class or at home to verify the correct resolution of the exercises. Here is a link so you can see how to use it:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/detailsid=com.microblink.photomath&hl=es

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the ability to use an electronic learning environment can make most of the difference. The teacher can use an electronic learning environment where she/he can put material on the same subject in different form, something that can help students with different learning types to choose the material he/she can work with to learn. Tablets and online tools make it so much easier to provide instant feedback to the students and give them personalised instructions. Students can work in their own pace using the material the teacher provided. Also, students can use internet to find additional material on the subject online.

The students can have their online space – like an eportfolio – where they post their work. A blog could easily become their electronic portfolio and the teacher could provide feedback very easily. I think tablets make it easier to create an eportfolio and electronic artefacts are easier to change after receiving feedback. With electronic text is easier for the teacher to provide feedback and the student to change the final product.

Applications for classroom management, like class dojo, can help the student to work on their progress and achieve goals on the skills that are important for each student.

# data[].attributes.body
We can use tablets with QR codes or Layar, and we can download apps that offer augmented reality

I try to use Edmodo for my lessons in the classroom, and the students find it very easy-to-use and they are able to find their 'independent' search via this tool, but in the video i've seen 'Aurasma', and i think it is really a great app to use in the big classrooms to give the students the idea of every different tool about how to use it. I think we can personalize this tool with every lesson -especially English-.

That is really the right spirit of collaborative learning!

be creative

Students have a wide variety of apps that they can use to personalise their own way of learning:

Quizlet

Stick Around

Thinglink

Educreations

Another way could be by asking students to prepare their own tasks for their classmates to do. In order to do this they may use such apps like: http://www.crosswordpuzzlegames.com/create.html

http://poster.4teachers.org/
http://hotpot.uvic.ca/

Evernote.

Skitch.

They can work at their own pace, as well as in every moment and environment they find themselves during the day.
Moreover Evernote is a great collaboration tool, because students can share their notes or notepad with their peers, and easily do group work even in remote

I think the customization of teaching is greatly facilitated with the use of tablets. This is because they can be set different goals of working with different processes but equal results. The use of tablets and all available apps to produce a work is an additional motivating factor for students.

# data[].attributes.body
I usually use Google Classroom to share information with may students and vice versa. This is really great and ables students to work and handout the works when they have the best time to complete it. Using ipads 1:1 it's fantastic because the can they can see and review the videos and other materials as often as they wish. Each can work at their own pace and difrentes aspects / themes.

I think tablets helps teachers to modernize their classroom scenario and students to gain independence in their learning work.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the use of tablets helps learners to gain confidence and to become more independent since it allows students to work at their own pace.

Students really enjoy using them but I think I still have to learn a lot on how to organize my lessons and create activities such as the ones provided in the videos.  The students in the videos look all of them really motivated!

# data[].attributes.body
I use Edmodo with all my classes and find it extremely useful. I also use Classcraft for classroom management and to put a game elemenet into my class. Students can directly access these apps on their phones and tablets and they can engage better with the class and their peers. Tablets also allow them to progress at their own pace, which is vital for slower students.They also come with different skill sets, so will choose different platforms to work on and share their knowledge.

We don’t have tablets at school, but many of my students have different kind of devices. But they don’t bring them to school because the school doesn’t allow to use devices in school. I will convince the headmaster to allow the students to bring their own tablets or telephones to introduce them in the learning process.

Although we don’t have tablets in this moment, I can imagine how to work with them. For personalising the learning experience of my students, I could use tablets in French ,for example.For example, to find the unknown words in the lesson or to listen a song in French. Tablets and their apps could help me for improving the performance of all in an attractive way.

I found some new apps in the two videos. I've never heard about ePace or Showbie or Aurasma - it seems to be very good tools for supporting independent learning. There are many apps, but the important issue is to use the apps and the learning activities for supporting the students to learn independently and creatively.

# data[].attributes.body
Tablets are a great world of learning for students, and the use of apps will increase their level to the next step.

We are now in the first step of implementation of tablets, but any pupil is working with them at the moment.

Our goal is finishing working on a Flipped learning environment, but we are still in a world of collaborative learning. Our nest step is the world of the IM of Howard Gardner. Then we will start with the work on PBL.

Our main problem is nos INFRASTRUCTURE - Wireless connection, so that ,when we solve this problem, we will start with the tablets.

# data[].attributes.body
We use apps like Book Creator, iMovie, Keynote, Pages, etc. where students can produce different levels of content depending on their ability. I have focused on flipped learning in maths so students can work on problems at their own pace. I have made a YouTube channel of videos which match the activities in lesson, this enables students to watch a maths video and attempt problems at their own pace. I track their pace using a numbers document.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Alberto from Spain. Tablets offer great possibilities to free learners and let them use their skills and abilities, but they also allow me, as a teacher to start and change the way I plan lessons, manage my classes, but most of all think of my teaching methodology and objectives. The tablet and the few applications I have started to use have made it possible to plan activities that before were not feasible with the knowledge of technological devices I have and with the time I can devote to planning activities. But if I do not change the structure, the frame, the scenario, nothing will really change. I already use showbie to share materials, assign and correct homework in a much more individualized manner. But it is the time in class I need to redefine, and flipping the classroom seems to me the goal I want to achieve.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the tablets allow articulate the collective work with individual learning. By allowing an active learning, also offer the possibility of creating individual working times and other working group, especially with use of facilitators apps. For example, it seems to me that the Edmodo will allow the teacher to create various methodologies that include both collective work, or individual work of moments, in which students will have to work and individual pathways. The same goes for the wikispace

# data[].attributes.body
What other ways can you think of how tablets can be used to personalise the learning experience of your students?

Tablets give pupils the opportunity to choose the way they want to present information. I have used ShadowPuppet, Book Creator, My Little Story as ways for pupils to share information about a topic.

I haven't tried using a virtual learning environment such as Edmondo, but I think this would be my next step.

# data[].attributes.body
I teach my students how to be more independent but when you are working with younger students personalisation starts with small steps.
Tablet is one of the tools which helps.

# data[].attributes.body
The ways that immediately come to my mind are http://www.brainshark.com/mybrainshark and https://www.techsmith.com/jing.html (https://www.techsmith.com/education.html).

With mybrainshark we can upload a PPt or other file to create a video presentation, then add our voice using a mike or mp3s. It’s also mobile ready, in other words, once created, we can deliver anywhere; mybrainshark video plays on computers, smartphones, iPads and other tables. It’s free, we can share our video links with sts via email, FB, Twitter… and either give instructions to our sts or use it for general feedback;

As for Jing, by Techsmith, an education software solutions company, it’s basically a screen capture tool. Once we’ve downloaded it for free, we can click on it and mark the area of our screen and start recording whatever activity there is on that area of the screen. As teachers, we can use it to highlight internet sites to our sts, create a tutorial, give instructions, help them with their homework, make corrections, give them vocab…

Another one I have experience with is http://clarisketch.com/ - this application is for free and downloadable into our smartphones and tablets. First we take a picture, then we highlight the details (you can really draw on it) and comment by recording your voice simultaneously and, finally, you send or share it. It can be used to hand out and explain some homework, to give directions and / or instructions, give some feedback…

I’ve used it for a guessing activity and for a book recommendation you can access at http://www.clarisketch.com/sketch/7Y5Fla3i0h56U9N2yQXJ8N and http://www.clarisketch.com/sketch/1TKHqbWk8EBaIcQSiVTpxz

Since January 2014 that I’ve been running a class blog and that has been a very rewarding and enriching experience for myself and my students: it allows them to work at their own pace and check everything (that includes asking for help privately!) in what concerns blogposts and comments, they can focus on their own preferences and with time, I’ve noticed that not only is their writing improving but also their responsibility, autonomy and self-confidence. Taking their tablets everywhere, they can easily access our blog and either create a post or comment on what has already been posted.

# data[].attributes.body
I often need to interact with students outside the classroom and for this reason I give them my e-mail address. I think that a social learning network platform like Edmodo is a good chance to personalize the learning experience with my students. Sometimes I need to help students to improve their learning with
individualized exercises or lessons. The Khan Academy is great but few resources are in Italian .

The usage of tablets implement a lot the creativity of students, besides, it helps much pupils to study at their own pace.

Moreover, it allows pupils to find the method of study that is most suitable for them, and to find an individual learning approch to new contents related to their own characteristics.

I've been using Edmodo por a couple of years and I have experienced that this tools gives students the possibility to go over concepts and ideas deeply as they can watch a video or read information following their own rythm and pace. Besides, it gives me the possibility to personalise learning as I can approach each students independently and offer him/her extra explanations, activities and information.

Two years ago I used edmodo as a study group with "selected memebers of students" who wanted to investigate a topic deeply. They participated in a collaborative project and they designed their products or discussed about the topic in this group which was specially created for this purpose.

During my short experience I could observe that the tablets may help students, who love technology and find new Apps, creating contents and access the instructions or contents at their own pace.

I have no doubt that tablets help a lot when we want to personalize the learning experience of the students.

Besides the teacher's options selecting the tool/environment that best support the project to develop.

I also think they must get used to choose their best app/tool to achieve the results they pretend. That must be also part of project work.

There are a variety of ways to personalise learning through the use of tablets. Instead of setting out a list of instructions for the whole class to complete, the teacher can set a task or explain the learning intentions and the children can learn independently and how they like by using the tablets. They can construct a form of presenting their new knowledge to the rest of the class using whatever app they wish. For high achievers and fast finishers there are many options for learning and consolidation to occur. They can carry their research forward or there are many educational games to choose from. Tablets also have options for communicating with peers, with teachers and with other school for reviewing their presentations and giving feedback.

Unfortunately my school does not have tablets in order to use with my students. Usually we use tools such as Moodle, dropbox, movie maker, powerpoint, Prezi, Google docs and e-mail for collaborative learning, using laptop or in the school library and even the machine photographic or video when we need to capture images abroad. I felt an overwhelming need to want to make a difference in how teaching, help my students improve their learning, to open its and my horizons in the way we acquire knowledge through the use of new tools. This is the purpose of this course often. I learned a lot and have already started to experience some as Edmodo, storyboard, create ebooks, among others. I intend to further enhance the creativity of teaching and using other tools that allow me to improve knowledge of my students. Briefly experience the Team Up in the formation of working groups and the Voxpop to improve their oral skills :)

As basic skills are developed via effective educational technology, the teacher is provided withmore valuable time to offer personal instruction assistance to the students who need it most. Suddenly, the large classroom setting becomes far more intimate and allows the teacher to use their experiences and skills to help each and every student receive the assistance and scaffolding they need to reach individual learning goals.

It's important to note that tablets and notebooks are not the means of student learning. Instead, they serve as a jumping-off tool and an excellent resource for personalized learning. The key is for strong educators to recognize the advantages provided by mobile learning tools and to leverage them as a piece of their daily instruction.

I can use a lot of tools for teaching & learning activities. It is an unlimited area for us. Especially it facilitates individualized learning, because nobody must to wait the others for new activities, subjects and content.

I use many tools in my teaching. The problem is that every of them has something good and something what is not so good. Sometimes that is frustrated and teacher needs to much time. For example, I use Edmodo for communication with my students and for administration of their assignment and grades. All grades from whole year are in one table. After one or two months I need a new table for new groups of grades but I can˙t do it. So I export grades in Excel. It is not problem for me. It is problematic for my students. They do not know the correct information at every moment. If I write to much post in Edmodo, my students have a problems. So, I have to be very careful. I am not satisfied with the quizzes in Edmodo because I cannot make a question base, I cannot put the pictures directly in the quiz (student has to open it in a new frame) and I cannot randomize the questions. I cannot personalize quizz. But in spite of this, my students like Edmodo.

In my teaching I use Edmodo as a way to communicate with my students, to access their project work, to send information and first of all to leave them sets of materials on Blendspace. I must say I just love Blendspace. You can create a set of materials made up of all different kinds of sources ( online materials, Youtube tutorials, presentations, pdf documents, your own google disc content, just WHATERVER you wish) I treat it as flipped lesson but also it's a good way to make sure slower ss or ss who were absent may have access to the material covered during lesson whenever and wherever they like.

I also think Quizlet and Kahoot are nice tools.

Having a tablet and Internet uses are unlimited.
The teacher seeks and offers students all the resources he believes will help students to achieve the objectives or skills .A way to organize this work is through educational platforms , which currently are numerous

The teacher will have time to detect more easily students with difficulties and find new resources that are in the gradient of the student or direct them back to review the materials and support that are not as understanding.

Thinking about it, I can imagine the use of tablets in oriented research activities, or using some apps to create a video about the lab activity they've just done, to take notes about questions/learning they are doing and always do a cooperative work with peers.
