Today we celebrate and showcase mobile learning opportunities with the e-Fiesta. CeL staff will be tweeting ‘live’ at @cel_nie (hashtag #efiesta).

The event in a nutshell:

• Opening ceremony at 10.30am (keynote addresses and lucky draws)
• Three concurrent sessions in the afternoon (practitioner, research, and portfolio tracks)
• Fringe event (vendors who offer mobile platforms, products, and solutions)

During the practitioner track, CeL will showcase four mobile apps:

• DollarDash (game-based learning of financial literacy concepts via this web app)
• NIE mGeo (project-based and experiential learning via this location-aware photo and video data collection native app)
• NIE mVideo (enabling the flipped classroom and decision-tree videos via this native app)
• NIE Well Said (learn to speak standard Singapore English on your own or with others with this native app)

Some insider information: The mVideo app is only a proof-of-concept at the moment so it is visually rough. The next version promises to have a slick interface (think cover flow and swiping instead of just tapping and typing).

Here is a sneak: One other app that is not quite ready for primetime is our classroom observation app for the iPad. This app will provide photo and video recording, editing an observation form, sharing that form with others, and a Web browser to check resources.
