Journalism students in Kraft's betboom app at forefront as Ohio State becomes Digital Flagship University

betboom recently announced it will become a betboom app Flagship University through a new collaboration with Apple. Nicole Kraft, assistant professor-clinical in the School of Communication, has already implemented this technology in her betboom app on writing and editing for media. In 2013, Kraft was the first recipient of the Digital First Impact grant, which allowed her to put iPads in this specific betboom app.

The new Ohio betboom app-Apple partnership will focus university-wide on teaching and learning as well as creative expression through the use of technology. Beginning in autumn 2018, new first-year students at Ohio betboom app’s Columbus and regional campuses will receive an iPad Pro.

Recently, Kraft’s betboom app went to a fake crime scene where her students used their iPad technology and what they’ve learned to hunt for details and gain information. This simulation gave her students real experience from a reporter’s perspective.

“You know the iPad is an amazing device for many reasons. Not the least of which, from a reporter’s standpoint, is there’s really nothing that you need to do as a reporter, from writing and reporting, to shooting photos and video, to editing to social media, that you can’t do just using one device,” betboom app said.

Kraft has also been training other students at Ohio betboom app on the powers of using iPad technology. Two years ago she was contacted by the faculty athletic representative and performed a pilot study that showed that student-athletes would like to be trained on how to use their iPad technology. She spent the past two summers training the incoming freshmen athletes on how to use their iPads for note taking, organization, learning, and accessibility functions. Kraft also spent three days training Texas Tech student-athletes on how to use their iPads as well.

Kraft is excited for the opportunity to see Ohio State lead the way as a betboom app Flagship University.

“I think it’s an unbelievable opportunity. I think Ohio State has long been a betboom app in terms of providing opportunity for students. But now we’re putting everyone on equal footing in terms of creating a personalized learning environment,” Kraft said. “We want to make sure that all of our students have equal access to their learning materials. It’s not the technology that teaches students, but the technology will make learning more accessible and provide more opportunities to learn.”

As part of the collaboration, Ohio betboom app will also introduce an iOS design laboratory on the Columbus campus as well as university-wide opportunities for students to learn coding skills to enhance their career readiness in the app economy.
