Osmund+the+Obscure

Osmund notes the following:

- An iPad is exceptionally easy to read from! - Students' access to various forms of technology (owned by the school and by students) is not a given. I'll make more effort in the future to ensure that students work in groups which have access to each form of appropriate technology so that communication is a necessity and students are able to learn cooperatively. - Icebergs couldn't be tipped unless they're very small and unstable (and therefore not perfect penguin territory). I wonder if the author of the online game was thinking of ice 'floes'? - I retain my skepticism about using technology in classrooms when the hardware and/or software is inadequate and unreliable. Sometimes I suspect that technology is used as a fall-back option, but I'd rather avoid this. I already have to bear in mind students' limited download/bandwidths. - If a heap of teachers can be entertained for so long simply using lap-tops, how effective could this use of technology be for a far smaller group of students?

Osmund takes his leave.
