I'm using an app called Nearpod in my school. It's for ipads, ipod touch and iphones. It allows me to launch presentations and by just touching a specific place on the screen I can visualize which students have logged out from the presentations... cool, isn't it? Well, there you go, that's one way to encourage iphones or itouches in your classroom and having everything under control :)<br /><br />Mel WilkesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-50052981774403929322012-05-10T05:31:25.561-04:002012-05-10T05:31:25.561-04:00There are so many thing we can draw in the classro...There are so many thing we can draw in the classroom using mobile..

My kinspersons sit with me and watch those thing like animated video on HD display, TOMcat, English teaching apps, Text to speech with moon reader etc.. there are plenty in the market...<br />Now a days mobile has created a lot learning development space its own...

We have an Instagram account and share learning experiences with other classes (and other schools/students). Students are enjoying food photography using their mobiles. The beauty with instagram is automatic upload- instant feedback!

A few years back I did an experiment where I gave students extra credit for texting me an answer to a question they needed to find in their textbooks. It worked relatively well but I was a little concerned about giving out my personal number. I never even considered using Google Voice in this way!

I just smiled. <br /><br />I've been around long enough to remember when the same thing was said about using calculators for math. No sane person in 2012 would say, "Calculators have absolutely no place in a schoolhouse," but I sure heard it said 25 and 30 years ago.<br /><br />Thanks for this thoughtful, helpful post.Gary Andersonhttp://whatsnotwrong.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
