Texting With Teachers Keeps Students in Class -- THE Journal - 2 views

texting mobile BER sms

shared by Lauren Rosen on 12 Apr 12 - No Cached
  • While much of the deluge was back-and-forth banter on tardiness, homework, or grade anxiety, Campbell also began using the constant communiqués as a means to engage students in learning. He began texting a daily journal topic every morning and encouraged students to think about it before they came to class. So far, it's been largely effective, perhaps as a result of the psychology that makes cell phones so addictive for teens in the first place.
  • "Everyone has a compulsion to read that text message when it bleeps, bings, chimes, or vibrates. No exceptions," Campbell has written of the program. "Sooner or later you have to open that text and read it. It's like captive-audience advertising, but for the good guys in education, rather than marketing."

    Nice article on reaching the less advantages and using technology to meet their needs. Teachers can engage students before they enter the classroom.

    IWitness is a powerful tool in the Shoah Foundation Institute's mission to putting an end to prejudice, bigotry, and intolerance -- and the suffering they cause -- through the educational use of testimony. This resource is hands-on, constructivist, engaging, and relevant to students ages 13 and up. There are a variety of activities, including one especially for classes that read Elie Wiesel's book Night, videos that address ethical editing, a built-in online video editor, and more.

    would be great site for students to learn from personal accounts, more interactive than just reading

      This resource sounds like it would be helpful in multiple history lessons.

    I've recently read some articles on how physical exercise helps students learn, and thought I'd put together a related "The Best…" list. However, I only have a few resources now, and I'm sure there are plenty others out there. I'm hoping readers will contribute more (I, of course, will give you credit for ones I add to this list).

      Wikispaces is a power online collaborative tool.  Giving students the opportunity to collaborate on assignments is something I have been looking to expand on in my lessons.  I want to allow collaborative opportunities for my students, as it is a skill that will be necessary in their post secondary endeavors.  Wikispaces seems to be just what I have been looking for.  Wikispaces will allow for accountable online collaboration that I can easily direct and moderate.

    Free space to set up your class WIKIs. Excellent place for class collaboration and organization. One of those "I can't do without this" tools.
