The Digital Learning Farm and iPad Apps

December 29, 2011 21st Century Learning, Digital Learning Farm, Featured Carousel, iPad 23 Comments

I previously published a chart of Bloom’s Taxonomy and iPad Apps, which I use regularly when planning projects or look to reinforce certain skills and literacies. Since I also rely heavily on The Digital Learning Farm concept (based on Alan November’s work), I felt it was time to create a similar chart in order categorize iPad apps for each role.This is by no means an exclusive chart, but meant to be a beginning of seeing iPad apps as a teaching and learning tool to empower students.

If you need a more detailed description of proposed roles to empower student learners, take a look at the following flyer (pdf).
