DESCRIPTION
Dr. Kevin Burden investigates how teachers and academics can build a pedagogic knowledge base around the use of iPads using the MESH project (www.meshguides.org). The emerging research evidence undertaken by Dr. Burden and his team indicates that Personalisation; Collaboration and Authenticity are powerful affordances for learning with mobiles devices like iPads

Personalisation
Collaboration
Authenticity
What have we discovered about mobile technologies?
Personalisation
IndividualisationAdaptive customisation
Independence: where and how to learn
Collaboration
Conversations mediated by mobile devices, not replaced by them
Learner Generated Content
How we ‘read’ a book changes
Students as authors (knowledge
constructors)
eBooks that understand your ‘reading’ habits
Authenticity
Greater authenticity is possible
1. Acces to ‘professional tools’
2. Access to ‘live data in real time’ in the classroom
3. Using mobiles in outdoor contexts
Heritage learning - situated
Changing the nature of assessment and feedback
“… before I would have maybe sent a worksheet
home and they would just complete it and send it
back to me. But if I put the worksheet on ‘Screen
Chomp’, then they can do the worksheet on ‘Screen
Chomp’ but record themselves while they do it, and
explain what they are doing to me, so I can see
where their understanding is, and I can see any
points that they are not understanding. And I can
also, when I am marking it when I am talking to the
children after, I will be able to give them more
direct and targeted feedback because I will know
exactly where they have gone wrong with things. I
think that has been a big change in being able to
do that”
