    I would certainly like to help this concept become reality. This winter has me worried with so many late openings.

      Did you know that both Canvas and Blackboard have free access to creating several online classes. I am teaching in one of those free options. I teach a different class in the free Blackboard. I like these tools better than any other I have tried but I respect that others have different ideas.
  • 2. Ensure that both students and teachers have internet access at home. If not, try to work with parents and budgets to provide special tools or dispensations for disadvantaged kids. If nothing can be done, abandon the e-learning program.

      Please also check to see which internet access comes from smart phones. You will be amazed at how many families have access to at least one smart phone that can do what a computer can do. Don't assume this is not so, ask.

      Gosh, this is truly overwhelming with so many ideas. Just reading through this makes my head swim. The challenge of the day is to find just one idea that might hold promise. I bet like potato chips you can't eat just one.

      Here is the most important part....I could not disagree me. 
  • The potential damage stemming from heightened cell phone use during class casts a pall on the entire educational system, on the school atmosphere, on the educational achievements of the class, on the pupil’s own learning experience and on the teacher’s burnout having to cope with discipline problems in class.’”

  • I could not disagree more with the above quotation. Although there is no doubt the very same scenarios mentioned in the above article are occurring in various classrooms around the globe, I now encourage all students to bring their cellphones or smartphones to class. Just a few years prior, my colleagues and I were struggling mightily with how to integrate the crafty handheld tools.
  • I believe the potential of smartphones, supported by a strong classroom management system, can be summed up with what I call “The Five C’s.” Collaborate, communicate, create and coordinate/curate. Of the forty-four ideas below regarding smartphones, twelve can be accomplished with a simple cellphone. Take a look below at this enormous potential.
  • Establish a Twitter class account to share class assignments and reminders. If students do not want a Twitter account, make it easy. Embed the Twitter feed on your teacher page.
  • Send students reminders in-class/after-class through ClassParrot and Remind 101.
  • Have a silent discussion via Todaysmeet.com.
  • Write on-the-go during a field trip or active lesson on campus with Tripline.
  • Create a mini-presentation, skit, or formal response to a prompt and e-mail the video to teacher’s Posterous blog spot.
  • Use the stopwatch and timer apps to manage class time.

    I find that I cry just about every day as I prepare to send my son to college in 8 weeks. This helped me meet my quota for today.

    I teach the same students for many years in a row and grow to know them well. I wish I had read this a few weeks ago to share with my graduating seniors.

    Why wait? I hear myself giving the advice, "pick your battles," almost everyday. I rephrase number 27 to , "how's that working for you now?" And number 21, is the advice I give myself.

    I love this.

    Great advice. And I agree with kgrill, why wait for some of it! #12. Leave things better than you found them? I hear my self saying that several times a month.

    These thirty things are inspirational. Thank you.

    I wish I had these earlier today when I had to say goodbye to a student heading back to public high school! I actually agree that we shouldn't wait - I am thinking of putting some of them up on a bulletin board for inspiration! Thanks for sharing, Carole!
