Apple Learning Journey @ Nanyang Girls' High (2011, October 10)

Here are the tweets generated during the 4-hour session. 
(so... read from bottom up
Personally, I have not 'discovered' any mentioned or highlights on the pedagogy aspects, as Kevin had pointed out, I learnt more about the sexy device (i.e. the iPad) and that has helped to motivate me further to explore and bringing the device into classroom.

While the presenters (be them from Apple or the school) emphasized that the 'magic' doesn't come from the device, but somehow iPad took the limelight :)

Anyway, the technical session turned out to be a useful exploratory session for a rookie like me :)

2) we have a promise for 21c learning. A 21st Century Learning Promise
I promise to do all I can
to keep the spark
of curiosity, creativity and learning 
alive in every child;
to elp all children
discover their talents,
develop their passions,
deepen their understanding,
and apply all this to helping others
and to creating
a better world
for us all.
