      Multiple Shifts.  Assessment advances are just one of six shifts that most American schools will experience in this decade: Print to digital Flat & sequential to engaging & adaptive experiences Annual tests to instant feedback Cohorts to individual progress Individual teacher practice to teams School as place to learning as blended services With improved access and more powerful tools, assessment is undergoing four shifts: Periodic to continuous: all day long not just end of unit/year Foreground to background: most assessment will be embedded within learning experiences, produced products, and observed behaviors Artificial to authentic: simulations and real work products rather than bubble sheets Heavyweight to lightweight: when every student has a huge standards-based gradebook, a simple sample will sufficient for summative assessment

      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.

  • 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.

  • ell phones promote the expression of their thinking and learning.
  • In terms of critical thinking, my students research extensively on the web and it is very convenient for them to pull out their phones to access our wireless network rather than going to a computer lab in the school. They can share the links to various sites via text messaging or Facebook in a timely and efficient manner. Many of my students communicate regularly in these mediums so it allows for the ubiquitous transmission of ideas into and out of the classroom.

  • llowing cell phones in classrooms provides the opportunity to discuss proper cell phone etiquette as well as “netiquette.”
  • We discuss how having a positive online presence is important both for obtaining entrance into schools and receiving jobs. I often have students use their devices to “Google” themselves, and we use the results as a springboard for a discussion into what their online presence or “digital footprint” says about them. It has been a very eye-opening experience for many.
  • I believe the ideals of ethical behavior and digital citizenship are the driving factors for BYOD.
  • Our students are immersed in these wireless mediums, and it’s our responsibility as educators to help them learn how to use them responsibly. BYOD provides these real world authentic learning opportunities to almost all of our students.
