Blackboard is a server system which gives you access to your homework assignments, grades and study. On ConnectED there’s a demonstration of this system but for iPhone. You can connect to your Blackboard server and retrieve information. The application will soon be available for free for all the students. (as demonstrated in the video below)
In Voorburg they’re up to something completely different: 30 pupils get an iPhone 3G to stamp words. The school in Voorburg gets a grant from Kennisnet to be able to purchase the iPhones. The plan is, letting one half of the class work the iPhone to learn, while the other half gets to work in a different way. Except for the fact that it is fun, there is serious purpose to all this. The organizers want to see if it is worth it to convert software to mobile sites and applications. Unfortunately the pupils can only use the iPhones for mobile internet; it is not possible to make calls or send text messages. They also have to return the iPhones at the end of the experiment. The school involved gives Dalton education, a way of education with emphasis on cooperation and freedom: pupils decide about the pace and the moment to work on certain topics.
