As we continue to explore digital tools for reading and note-taking on the iPad (marginal annotations?), questions arise around the effects of this new medium on the reader’s experience and outcomes on learning. Skeptics claim the tool's transformational impact on the quality of the learning experience remains elusive, while advocates champion how e-book authoring and annotation tools are paving ways for both teachers and students to be both consumers and analytical producers of literature, which can be both an empowering and creative outlet in the classroom.
- How do we create informed decisions around which medium to use in our classrooms?
- What are ways in which we can design learning experiences where these tools are more effective?
- And how do we measure that effectiveness?
Participants will hear what the research says about this debate.
Teachers will get an overview of strategies and resources they can add to their toolkits.
