This Is How E-Readers Should Actually Work by EdTechie http://edudemic.com/2012/01/e-readers-design/#comment-13889 EdTechie Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:31:48 +0000 http://edudemic.com/?p=17713#comment-13889 This is amazing- definitely creates a more realistic reading experience for those who miss the touch and feel of a "real" bound book. With the new iPad coming out next month, it will be interesting to see if it includes a similar interface. Wonder if the KAIST audio emits the sound of pages flipping as well? :) This is amazing- definitely creates a more realistic reading experience for those who miss the touch and feel of a “real” bound book.

]]> Comment on iPads vs Textbooks by SamanthaClark http://edudemic.com/2012/02/ipads-vs-textbooks/#comment-13885 SamanthaClark Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:36:52 +0000 http://edudemic.com/?p=18619#comment-13885 iBooks 2 have rather unfairly claimed to revolutionize textbooks. They are neither fresh conceptually or have the adaptability to make such a massive claim, whereas CK-12 FlexBooks (www.ck12.org) have been pioneering customizable digital content for the past five years. They deliver high quality content for STEM subjects, especially, on a flexible customizable platform that allows you to tailor personalized content. So iBooks getting the kind of mileage it’s getting seems quite unfair. But then it’s an Apple product. iBooks 2 have rather unfairly claimed to revolutionize textbooks.

But maybe we could add some names under “thought leaders in digital education.” Of course this list would include some fairly fresh names. I have three names that I would like to propose a mention in this list. First is undoubtedly Sal Khan for showing us how a simple well illustrated videos can become a global sensations, informing more than 3.5 million people a month. Second and third are CK-12 (www.ck12.org) co-founder Murugan Pal and Neeru Khosla for actually revolutionizing digital textbooks with their brilliant FlexBooks which are open-source, Web-based materials that teachers can mix or modify. With more than a million downloads and partnerships with some the country’s most radical education initiative, CK-12 FlexBooks perhaps the most exhaustive, high quality and customizable resource on K12 STEM subjects.

These FlexBooks allow you the flexibility to create and customize content based on your/ student’s needs. But it’s not just the students that benefit from tools like these, even teachers get the support and the freedom to create more student centric curriculum by getting the power to add literacy scaffoldings. Also with their interactive features these digital tools allow students o be pulled into education rather be pushed into it. And that I think is the basis of personalized education- when students themselves are interested in creating their academic path.

I think a tool that allows teachers to customize, create and share content is perhaps the most useful weapon in a teacher’s arsenal. Yes there has been a lot of buzz about iBook2 being touted as a potentially revolutionary authoring tool. But I think its lack of adaptability on other devices is a major handicap. On the other hand a tool like, the CK-12 FlexBooks I think gives teachers an amazing platform that is accessible on any device, pc or mobile in a variety of formats, including Kindle, pdf, ePUB etc, and it offers users the ability to customize its brilliant content. CK12 FlexBooks (www.ck12.org) are especially great for STEM subjects. Best of all, it’s FREE!
