  • have students engage in one or both of the following exercises:
  • Ask students: How are cellphones used, and how can they be used, in our society today?
  • Engage students in a discussion about your school’s cellphone rules. Ask: What are the rules? What is the reason or philosophy behind them? How do they see students using cellphones in school? If cellphones are banned, how would they like to use cellphones in school? How are the rules enforced?
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Finally, ask: Do you think cellphones will continue to be banned in some schools in a year from now? Five years? Ten? Why or why not?
  • Have students engage in a debate on the pros and cons of using cellphones in school. They should delve into questions of policy, cost, usefulness and innovation along with the potential for mischief, distraction and cheating.

  • "It provides the potential to empower and uplift students in their learning,"
  • To maximize effectiveness, education in the 21st century has to be active, engaging, and customized. Students must have universal access to mobile technologies that will enable critical thinking, differentiation, and problem solving. It is our belief that the technology in Apple's iPad meets these needs and more."
  • cell phones in education involve websites like Poll Everywhere and Text the Mob, which allow a teacher to create a set of questions that the students can respond to with a text message.

      Mlearning engages our students in their own learning and investigations. "Our digital natives are counting on us"
  • Mobile learning technologies offer teachers-and students-a more flexible approach to learning.
  • More and more schools are moving toward mobile learning in the classroom as a way to take advantage of a new wave of electronic devices that offer portability and ease of use on a budget.
  • Today's students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach
  • They are more engaged in learning when using the latest technological gadgets, because it is what they are most used to interacting with. Our students don't just want mobile learning, they need it.
  • The study found that after children had used the app every every day for two weeks, the vocabulary of Title 1 children between three and seven years old improved by as much as 31 percent.
  • Studies like these help underline the academic potential that mobile learning devices can have to enrich the learning process for students.

  • The American education system, however, must proceed with great caution that this trend does not lead to a new digital divide and greater inequity among students accessing a good education.
  • South Korea has pledged that all elementary and secondary schools will be completely digital by the year 2015. The ministry of education will ensure that every student has access to a mobile device, a strong connection to the Internet, and a cloud-computing network dedicated to education.
  • School systems around the world are watching Korea, not just for its high-achievement rates, but also to see if it succeeds in being the first country to go entirely digital.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • States are getting in the game, too. Last summer, Florida announced its goal to phase out textbooks in favor of digital learning by the year 2015. And Alabama representatives are planning to introduce the "Alabama Ahead Act" which would allow schools to purchase electronic tablets instead of textbooks
  • In a recently released study, only one out of five teachers believe they have the know-how to teach effectively with technology, despite a 91% rate of digital access.

From Distraction to Engagement: Wireless Devices in the Classroom (EDUCAUSE Quarterly) ... - 0 views

  • From Distraction to Engagement: Wireless Devices in the ClassroomFrom Distraction to Engagement: Wireless Devices in the ClassroomBy Berlin Fang Wireless devices in the classroom threaten to distract student attention but also offer opportunities for student engagement. Faculty use different methods to reduce in-class distractions, up to mandating no use of wireless devices during class sessions. To increase student engagement using wireless devices, faculty employ creative options for making wireless devices part of instruction, from cell phones as clickers to laptops for on-the-fly web research.The path of technology integration in education is lined with disruptions on one side and opportunities on the other. Technology teams work to bring useful technology into teaching, all with good intentions, only to encounter unwanted side effects such as distraction and disruption in the classroom. The challenges loom large in classrooms with wireless connections, especially when universities give students ubiquitous Internet access and sometimes even the devices for such access.

      Teacher to misbehaved student: "Sometimes it's not you, its me".
  • The key ingredient in effective lessons isn't alignment, it's pizzazz: excitement, engagement, challenge.
  • using classroom management methods to get students to attend to boring lessons is shoveling against the tide.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Kids who feel confident, engaged, and motivated to learn do not act out.
  • Stimulating video content can add to excitement and understanding. Hands-on experimentation helps a lot when appropriate, as does competition between teams or against the clock.
  • Classroom management strategies matter, of course, but pizzazz matters more. Motivated, engaged, challenged, and successful students are well-behaved, not because they've been threatened but because they are too busy engaged in learning to misbehave.
