A talkback board. We gave everyone post-its in their registration packets and encouraged them to post their questions and comments, especially on the “gaps” in the conference, to the board. The board was directly outside the main conference room.

Kids do a lot better when schools ban smartphones - May. 18, 2015 - 105 views

Rather than ban what should be a valuable tool in education, how about we teach the students proper usage of smartphones in and out of the classroom?

6 Ways to Use Cell Phones to Strengthen the Home-School Connection - 56 views
-
I especially am interested in the sending group texts to parents. Our school doesn't have an auto-dialer yet for emergencies or group events, and this would be one way to get the information out quickly. For teachers, what a great way to notify parents of urgent matters or upcoming events or needs.

Pair that with Google Voice, where you can copy/paste text messages.

But it has to be about so much more than just making things interesting and having fun. Those are important, no doubt, but are also potentially relatively low on the totem pole of meaningfulness.
Museum 2.0: Educational Uses of Back Channels for Conferences, Museums, and Informal Learning Spaces - 0 views
-
-
If you don't engage in multiple back channels, you may not see multiple use cases. Different tools are best for different types of interaction. Just because post-it notes didn't work at WebWise doesn't mean they don't work in galleries... as we know from the success of many talkback boards.If you ask visitors/participants to try a new tool, make sure it has as low a barrier to entry as possible. I have yet to see a museum set something up that is as simple to use as Today'sMeet.If discussion is the goal, you don't need user profiles - you just need a way to talk. If building up a personal profile/relationship with the institution is a goal, people need to uniquely identify themselves.Think about the possibility for asynchronous back channels that allow visitors (and staff) to share deep content with each other over time. Consider, for example, the rich conversation on Flickr about this image from the Chicago World's Fair. You could imagine a comparable conversation available to visitors onsite alongside exhibits or artifacts in the galleries.If possible, find ways to show the real-time location of people who are engaging in the back channel. The Mattress Factory's new SCREENtxt application uses a location-based system so that visitors can identify whether other participants are onsite at the museum or not.Make allowance for emergent back channels that visitors/users "bring with them" to the experience. These tools are particularly valuable for the "portal to the world" back channel use case. Every time I see a kid take a cellphone photo in an exhibit, I know that photo will immediately travel to Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, etc. How can your system capture that activity?

Gemma and Eliana Singer are big iPhone fans. They love to explore the latest games, flip through photos, and watch YouTube videos while waiting at a restaurant, having their hair done, or between ballet and French lessons. But the Manhattan twins don't yet have their own phones, which is good, since they probably wouldn't be able to manage the monthly data plan: In November, they turned 3.
Industry Pitching Cellphones as a Teaching Tool - NYTimes.com - 21 views

It would be taking a huge leap of faith to just have cell phones out there during the school day. Would it make students text more than they already do, or would it take away the allure if it weren't against the rules?

The potential looks great, but I found it a little confusing on the setup. Kids know how to text, so why not study too. I used a free texting app on my iPad, so I didn't even have to worry about a data plan.
