      Another very useful Teacher tool to teach History or even Science by uploading images, later you can tag different parts of the images to link out to further explanations.
  • Applications for Education Tools like Record MP3 are great for posting short reminder messages on your blog for your students to hear. If  you're going to be out of your classroom for a day, record a message with that day's directions for student and post it on your blog. Then your substitute teacher can hear the directions and your students can too and nothing gets lost in the chain of communication.

      Mobile learning is basic in all types of 21st century education. It sometimes seems overwhelming to start trying "new techniques" but if we just focus on what we already have and find a use for it in the classroom it will most definitely lead to increased student engagement and more meaningful learning.
  • Take a look around and chances are you’ll see a mobile device. Phones, iPods, laptops, netbooks, iPads, USB drives, and handheld games seem to be everywhere.
  • Mobile learning can happen anywhere: in a classroom, at the dinning room table, on a bus, in front of a science exhibit, at the zoo…anywhere!

    The challenge of providing aid in organization for some students with special needs can be ameliorated with just a few available tools.  Google voice could be used to record up to 3 minutes of oral instructions given by the teacher that can be replied when needed.  The possibility of sending assignment or test oral or printed reminders that can be listened to a whole group of students has great potential.

  • So the “sharing” part of my title comes from my ongoing effort
  • to extend my students’ sense of audience.
  • The promise of the digital is not in the way it allows us to ask new questions because of digital tools or because of new methodologies made possible by those tools. The promise is in the way the digital reshapes the representation, sharing, and discussion of knowledge.

  • A key point of collaborative construction is that the students are not merely making something for themselves or for their professor. They are making it for each other, and, in the best scenarios, for the outside world.
