I can think of no better way to launch my 2010 blog posts with a terrific showcase of how technology can impact student learning. This short video from Seneca College (Ontario, Canada) is absolutely marvelous - and they have an award to prove it...!


The Workshop on the Impact of Pen-based Technology on Education (WIPTE) just recently announced the results of their video contest. Seneca College submitted a short (less than 4 minutes) video describing how they used their 2008 HP Technology for Teaching grant to change math instruction. The voice over is from an unrehearsed student focus group, talking about their experience learning with tablet pcs and DyKnow software. I love the authenticity:

More (wonderful!) videos from the WIPTE video contest are available at http://www.wipte.org


Congratulations videographer Ewan Gibson for creating a video that so naturally captures the student perspective. Congratulations also to Carol Carruthers and her colleagues for taking the bold step to explore what's possible at the intersection of teaching, learning, and technology...
