Brown Bag Lunch: Effective Use of IOS Development in Education

Matt Stoker — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 12:00:00 PDT

The use of iOS devices and other small-form-factor devices to assist education is being carefully scrutinized recently. How can teaching students to MAKE quality mobile applications for these devices assist in producing better CS students? Also, what constitutes a quality app?

Orientation Leaders and the iPad: A 360 View

Nate Wiley — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 08:00:00 PDT

This session will lay out a full 360 degree view of how New Student and Family Programs incorporated the use of the iPad 2 into the daily working practice of our 32 Orientation Leaders during the spring and summer of 2011. Orientation Leaders were given an iPad 2 to use for work purposes, and allowed to keep the device upon successful completion of their job at the end of summer. This session will include the proposal phase and preparation, the purchasing and justifying steps, training for students, implementation in summer, and assessment of the program.

Learning at your Fingertips: Active and Engaged Learning with Mobile Devices

Jennifer Sparrow — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 10:00:00 PDT

As mobile devices become more commonplace, computing resources have become more powerful and more accessible. Almost all students come to classes with the knowledge of how to use social media tools for personal networking. Fewer students have harnessed that power of social media and mobile computing to enhance their educational experiences. This session will highlight mobile apps that faculty are using to increase active and engaged learning. Good practices in teaching and learning drive the faculty and student adoption of apps. These practices will be highlighted along with apps from both Apple and Android operating systems. Feedback from faculty and students will be shared with the participants along with an overview of best practices for empowering students to take an active role as partners in learning.

Engaging Students & Vendors to Go Mobile

Tim Flood — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 09:00:00 PDT

At Stanford we didn't hire or train programmers to develop iStanford and we didn't request any special funding. And yet our mobile app is constantly changing. How is this possible?

Practical Learning Using Mobile Devices

Chris Haskell — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 11:00:00 PDT

Beyond theory and speculation, Chris Haskell uses mobile devices as one of many approaches to his preservice teacher education course at Boise State. In this session, he will outline and demonstrate the CellQuest activities, Twitter lessons, and Aris driven Alternate Reality Game currently employed as part of his curriculum. Resources, instructions, curriculum, and handouts will be made available. SpyCraft (Mobile Learning Game, ARG) Created for Chris Haskell's preservice teachers, this mobile learning Alternate Reality Game utilizes smart phones (iPhone and iPod touch) in an interactive, GPS powered, campus game. This asynchronous event will be available for conference goers to enjoy. Free download of the Aris app is necessary to produce it on either iPhone or iPod touch.
