Translation research

Imagine if........

there was a Map of Medicine for education????‘Concept to

classroom’

Imagine if teachers could access research based pedagogic knowledge

about.....

barriers to learning threshold concepts at a fine grain level

the most effective strategies for using iPads in the classroom

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”
