Learning2gether Episode 195
On Mon Jan 6 Morteza Barin invited us to a discussion of Using tablets for online teaching and learning
Morteza in Iran is a strong contributor to Learning2gether despite difficulties in connecting online, and getting and applying information on educational technology to his context. He has offered to host a discussion apps for tablet devices in order to give us an opportunity to crowd-source such information useful to all of us.
If you have any apps you find particularly helpful please add them to our list here http://titanpad.com/FZKJlQCB6k
Where: We tested a number of discussion environments and settled on WizIQ

Why did we do this?
Morteza recently acquired a Samsung Android smart device and has agreed to research the topic to the extent possible, and then host this session in hopes of getting others to help him and one another learn more about using such devices. He is keeping us update with what he is finding so far:
- Tablets and their use for effective teaching and learning
