The great thing about traveling the ‘blogosphere’ is that you are constantly learning. The learning takes many forms: new resources, new sites to bookmark and revisit, new sources of information, new people to add to your PLN or RSS feed. There is constant reinforcement of the rich content, thinking, sharing and collaboration that occurs in our online world.
During a recent blogosphere trip, I came across references to iLearn 2, so I bookmarked it and have gone back to revisit the site a number of times. iLearn is organized like an online book which can be viewed in magazine, presentation or paper views. Contents of iLearn 2 include:
- a 21st century learning framework
- ideas for choosing a particular iPod model
- mobility in learning
- podcasts
- slideshows
- video
- text files & eBooks
- internet usage (iTouch browser)
- a comprehensive list of applications with brief descriptions organized by subjects
- digital storytelling
- lab management tips
In my view, iLearn 2 is is an excellent resource and I recommend that you take the time to have a look if you are using or planning to use iPods in your classroom. Enjoy the learning.
