Engagement with Mobile Devices - Karen Melhuish Spencer

How to Engage Learners with Mobile Devices

http://shift2learn.blogspot.co.nz/ 

How will we engage those hard to reach learners
How will we use devices to assist learning pathways
What are the capabilities of the devices we have

Adaption by Karen Melhuish Spencer Remember the WHO






















Universal Design for Learning is about creating learning options that cater for everyone at the beginning. It's about:
  • avoiding retro fitting and unnecessary differentiation
  • recognising the invisible barriers that bury talent,
  • proactively getting to know students and each other and then using that knowledge to create learning opportunities and environments,
  • welcoming diversity and using it as a springboard to innovate,
  • designing from the edges - planning from the diversest needs rather than from the mythical middle.
What this means: 
Maximises Learning for all students 
Curriculum Design - using ramps for people the need them. 
Flexible Curriculum that workd for everyone
What do we care about
Show info in different ways
Options and choice for children
What are the barriers, how can you eliminate them
UDL creates flexible pathways 
Scaffolds support for new concepts 
Multimedia as forms of support
Express what they know
Multiple means of engagement (not just one way) 
= learning opportunities for all! 

"Help me find my Doorway"


What can we access to support learning:

  1. Mobile devices
  2. Web based Apps
  3. Ubiquitous connection
  4. Shared and personal spaces
  5. Networks
