Cell Phones in Education

love the chart comparing difference between technology use and technology integration

Great accommodation for school districts with limited resources and for students with no mobile devices

Susan, this is gold. I'm a power user of Evernote, and this have helped me a lot to increase my productivity. Thank you :)

This lesson has me intrigued as it uses a mobile phone and Microsoft Tag. I make sure all my students have a windows live id and a google id (using our google apps for domain) so this wouldn't be a problem for me. I like the idea of using mobile phones in esafety lessons.

This is an easy, private, free, polling system used by cell phone expert Liz Kolb. With her thoughts on this, I'm willing to plan it in during January.

Make quizzes app for smartphones

This research shows that cell phone text messages can be used curb problem drinking as compared to a control group that did not receive the text messages. This begs to ask. How can cell phone text messages be used to help with other behaviors? Studying? Test reminders? Behavioral issues? Weight loss? Cell phones are a great friend of education BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS WITH STUDENTS. Kids have a computer in their pocket that we choose to ignore because we are unwilling to teach them the proper way to behave. It is easier to lock up the phones than teach good judgement and the ability to focus. Hold kids accountable but make friends with cell phones, they are here to stay.
