Malcolm Brown: (13:33) question: do you ever take the tablet and NOT take the laptop?
Jamie Putorti Sandheinrich @ Univ of Southern CA: (13:33) When I travel I will sometimes choose my 11" macbook air so that I can do more extensive writing - doc creation
Teresa Macklin @ CA State Univ, San Marcos 2: (13:34) yes, on trips and to meetings (tablet instead of laptop)
Veronica Diaz: (13:34) I opted for the air over the ipad, seems more functional to me
Malcolm Brown: (13:34) ah well the air is inbetween the tablet and the laptop
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (13:35) any chance you could define the difference between qwerty input and gesture-based input, to help clarify this concept of intimacy?
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (13:36) not sure that is the right idea ...
Teresa Macklin @ CA State Univ, San Marcos: (13:36) They all have a unique niche

Malcolm Brown: (13:45) @deborah what's the app for that?
Veronica Diaz: (13:45) :)
Leeann Fields @ University of Colorado Denver: (13:46) searching for cheaper prices
Deborah Mateik @ University of Maryland 2: (13:46) Over 40:-)
Malcolm Brown: (13:47) @deborah is that the name of the app?
Deborah Mateik @ University of Maryland 2: (13:48) @Malcom It's called Over 40
Alicia Russell @ Northeastern Univ: (13:48) extend your experience - magnifying glass, leaf snap, flashlight
Malcolm Brown: (13:48) thanks! I'll get it
Malcolm Brown: (13:48) as I am over 40;-)
Malcolm Brown: (13:49) yes
Anne Allen @ University of Florida: (13:49) we're with you...
Sandra Miller @ William Paterson Univof NJ: (13:49) yes
Malcolm Brown: (13:49) do the 4 C's map to learning activities?
Janet Miles @ The Univ of Tennessee: (13:51) Finding ways to filter the deluge is my issue.I often feel like I'm looking for particular snowflakes in an avalanche.
Montgomery County Community College: (14:11) Not really. Could you give us more examples?
Malcolm Brown: (14:12) yes you'd think, at first glance, that the brevity of SMS is not compatible with content presentation
Tsvetomir Ross Lazarov @ Univ Corp for Atmospheric Research: (14:13) not for advanced scientific content
Nancy LaChance @ DeVry Univ Home Office: (14:13) was wondering if we were going to be learning anything technical in regards to application development.
Montgomery County Community College: (14:14) Yes, thank you.
Malcolm Brown: (14:15) the most recent ELI 7 Things speaks to mobile app development
Tsvetomir Ross Lazarov @ Univ Corp for Atmospheric Research: (14:16) i am curious! :)
Chad Kjorlien @ Winona State University: (14:16) Term of the day or question of the day for SMS
Nancy LaChance @ DeVry Univ Home Office: (14:16) a design exercise would be nice to view
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (14:16) would be great to see what ideas everyone came up with!
Gerald Stapleton @ Univof Illinois at Chicago: (14:17) It was good.Got me thinking about opportunities I had not considered such as texting participants about implementing ideas into their practice.
Malcolm Brown, EDUCAUSE: (14:17) also I had not considered the "personalizing" aspect of SMS
Melonie Ivey @ NC State University: (14:18) should have used Google Doc and made the document interactive
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (14:18) for a fairly agile SMS solution, check out FrontlineSMS
Montgomery County Community College: (14:18) Docs: syllabus and calendar. I like to know what is expected and when
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (14:19) open-source, runs on a PC and allows for a wide variety of functions.
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (14:19) A summary wrap up could be used as text "Do you know?", or audio as the same, looking at a self assessment
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (14:19) especially useful if doing research in the developing world where smart phones are rare
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (14:19) use video as a sumary for every project - can be done using VoiceThread and accessed via the mobile app
Yvette Raven @ Montgomery County Comm Coll: (14:19) using voki's for short video communicate with students
Meghan Pereira @ Buffalo State College: (14:19) A great visual for us to see the medium that we are using. If it is only text (doc) we may need to offer more of a variety
Meghan Pereira @ Buffalo State College: (14:20) Using LiveScribe Pens for video examples
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (14:20) definitely! and students gravitate to these tools by default!
Meghan Pereira @ Buffalo State College: (14:20) Math examples
Deborah Mateik @ University of Maryland 2: (14:21) There is also a free text serice GroupMe
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (14:21) livescribe as video demonstration - statics examples, equations
Montgomery County Community College: (14:21) SMS: Wall Wisher
Malcolm Brown, EDUCAUSE: (14:21) @meghan that's a good example that gets away from the smartphone to other hardware options
Sandra Miller @ William Paterson Univof NJ: (14:27) what do you do when students are not on a standardized platform?
Tsvetomir Ross Lazarov @ Univ Corp for Atmospheric Research: (14:29) That would make a very long string of SMS. :)
Tsvetomir Ross Lazarov @ Univ Corp for Atmospheric Research: (14:30) Reflection that is.
Tsvetomir Ross Lazarov @ Univ Corp for Atmospheric Research: (14:31) Thank you!Fantastic.
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (14:33) Video and several of these can be used for just-in-time or location-based learning solutions
Leeann Fields @ University of Colorado Denver: (14:33) SMS - reflect: Face-2-Face Lecture in a.m. and text a question or two in p.m. to keep students thinking about the content they heard earlier in the day.
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (14:33) Interactive can be leveraged for scaffolding the learning - particularly in mobile game development
Tsvetomir Ross Lazarov @ Univ Corp for Atmospheric Research: (14:34) Very useful, indeed!
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (14:34) voice= small group discussions
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (14:35) we're developing an equine science game based on scaffolding student learning through a series of mini games
Malcolm Brown, EDUCAUSE: (14:37) @amanda are those mini games delivered to a mobiledevice?
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (14:37) totally mobile, yes!
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (14:37) with a web option
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (14:37) eta May 2013
Tsvetomir Ross Lazarov @ Univ Corp for Atmospheric Research: (14:37) @Amanda, it would be great if you could point me to those, if at all possible.
Malcolm Brown, EDUCAUSE: (14:37) @amanda keep in touch on how that works
Deborah Mateik @ University of Maryland 2: (14:38) iBooks
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (14:38) you bet! submitted an ELI presentation, so let us in and we'll share! :)
Tsvetomir Ross Lazarov @ Univ Corp for Atmospheric Research: (14:38) @Amanda, i'd be interested to be a beta tester.
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (14:38) @Tsvetomir
Tsvetomir Ross Lazarov @ Univ Corp for Atmospheric Research: (14:39) @Amanda, Thank you!
Melonie Ivey @ NC State University: (14:52) concern on texting cost for professors
Pavlo Prokop @ American University: (14:53) you can use remind101 to send out text messages to students.
Malcolm Brown: (14:53) in some ways that question is even more acute for students who may be on a limited budget
Deborah Mateik @ University of Maryland 2: (14:53) Skype
Malcolm Brown: (14:53) yes there are a few SMS-for-free for teachters
Malcolm Brown: (14:54) but do many of your faculty actively use SMS in their teaching?
Leeann Fields @ University of Colorado Denver: (14:54) Will you speak at some point about "security" issues. How easy for hackers to enter/retrieve data being sent via mobile?
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (14:54) yes, but as a student response system. very few as a way to send messages to students
Melonie Ivey @ NC State University: (14:55) ferpa
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (14:55) don't forget that you must get students to provide cell phone numbers and permission to send them text messages
Tsvetomir Ross Lazarov @ Univ Corp for Atmospheric Research: (14:55) Hackers will learn too, I guess. :)
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (14:56) permission required because students may incur costs from incoming text messages
Melonie Ivey @ NC State University: (14:59) students love it
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (15:10) selecting mobile as a teaching tool comes down to taking advantage of what the mobile device offers, e.g. always with student, immediacy, location services, etc.
Malcolm Brown: (15:11) yes it's a question of either incremental enhancement or a more complete rethink
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (15:12) complete rethink only when mobile device access is truly ubiquitous and capable
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (15:13) we have 2% with no mobile device
Malcolm Brown: (15:14) it's also very different at 2 year institutions
Deborah Mateik @ University of Maryland 2: (15:14) The library has mobile devices for chekout on most campuses
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (15:14) that is not deterring us from moving forward, just pointing out there are still challenges
Veronica Diaz, EDUCAUSE: (15:15) yes, yes, yes
Sandra Miller @ William Paterson Univof NJ: (15:15) all of the above
Jamie Putorti Sandheinrich @ Univ of Southern CA: (15:15) All
Malcolm Brown: (15:15) nobody, right?;-)
Deborah Mateik @ University of Maryland 2: (15:15) for preparing preservice teachers
Malcolm Brown, EDUCAUSE: (15:15) all
Melonie Ivey @ NC State University: (15:15) all of the above
Deborah Mateik @ University of Maryland 2: (15:15) preservice school librarians
Meghan Pereira @ Buffalo State College: (15:15) skype with my faculty, twitter to follow conferences I can't attend
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (15:15) twitter as a teaching tool
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (15:16) @Deborah, that is true, but those mobile devices lose some of the main advantages of mobile like immediacy and always with the student
Sandra Miller @ William Paterson Univof NJ: (15:16) twitter, facebook, linked in and skype for professional but only facebook and skype for private usage
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (15:17) several faculty members using twitter to have course discussions in public, and involve people outside the course
Deborah Mateik @ University of Maryland 2: (15:17) iTunes U
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (15:18) making the discussion public enforces a certail level of thoughtfulness
Sandra Miller @ William Paterson Univof NJ: (15:18) and better writing skills
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (15:20) so what you're saying is learning is social and takes time
Malcolm Brown, EDUCAUSE: (15:21) it is social.Even if you are reading a book by yourself, you're dialoging, in a way, with the author
Montgomery County Community College: (15:22) In the process of being social, we learn.
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (15:25) polling
Deborah Mateik @ University of Maryland 2: (15:25) web 2.o tools
Sandra Miller @ William Paterson Univof NJ: (15:25) twitter back channel
Malcolm Brown, EDUCAUSE: (15:25) send them on a "scavenger hunt" for examples or counter examples
Montgomery County Community College: (15:25) Pools and surveys
Tsvetomir Ross Lazarov @ Univ Corp for Atmospheric Research: (15:25) polling and peer instruction are a powerful combination.
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (15:25) airplay - students presenting without having to go to front of room
Montgomery County Community College: (15:25) Polls
Leeann Fields @ University of Colorado Denver: (15:25) You Tube: Search for examples
Leeann Fields @ University of Colorado Denver: (15:26) Contests: search for answers
Sandra Miller @ William Paterson Univof NJ: (15:27) too many faculty are afraid to let students bring mobile devices into class because it takes them off task, but if they embraced the technology within the class, they'd use it less for surfing the net or emailing their friends
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (15:27) We' using Tumblr as a project journal for group work.
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (15:28) STudents take photos and video with smartphone and post to Tumblr!
Deborah Mateik @ University of Maryland 2: (15:28) Digital whiteboard
Sandra Miller @ William Paterson Univof NJ: (15:28) audio podcasts for instructions for a physics lab for students to listen tobefore the lab as they drive to class. Then, less time in class for instructions and they can get right to it
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (15:29) flipping the classroom leveraging mobile! yeah!
Jon Crutchfield @ University of Notre Dame: (15:30) @Sandra, we have a chem prof that uses videos in itunes u for the same reason
Sandra Miller @ William Paterson Univof NJ: (15:31) @Jon - another excellent example
Amanda Robertson @ NC State University: (15:32) or, it anticipates where you want to go and tells you!
Malcolm Brown, EDUCAUSE: (15:40) decoupling is related to disintermediation
