This article is about the mobile software that is being used on cellphones in classrooms. It has a great video that we can use in our presentation.
"Their Mobile Learning Environment includes programs that let students map concepts, animate their drawings, surf relevant parts of the Internet and integrate their lessons and assignments. It also includes mini versions of Microsoft Word and Excel."
Math is a subject many students struggle with. Intergrating it with something that everyone can relate to, such as cell phones, is a great idea. it is important for students to realize the importance of math and the everyday need they have for it
Article explains the pros and cons of cell phones in classrooms. I like the article because outside using phones as a tool of pedagogy, the author makes the claim that if victims [students] of the Columbine shooting had cell phones, it may have changed things.
An article on a learning based social network.\n\n"The Digital Youth Network runs a private Web site called Remix World, which is modeled on popular online social networks such as Facebook and MySpace. The students and mentors who use it have Web pages that contain pictures, profile information, and links to their friends' pages. They can post digital artwork -- such as videos -- on their pages, comment on friends' pages, and participate in discussions with other users through the Remix World forums."
