Encouraging Distraction? Classroom Experiments with Mobile Media - ProfHacker - The Chr... - 0 views

  • I think the best place to start when thinking about incorporating technology into the classroom is by asking the question, “What is the right tool for this particular job?” Sometimes it’s a digital tool and sometimes it’s not. But when we force a digital tool into a classroom scenario where it isn’t the best one for the job, students are extremely quick to pick up on this “tech for tech’s sake” implementation.
  • And the faster and more intense our connectedness becomes, the further we move away from that ideal. Digital busyness is the enemy of depth.”
  • Instead, if used in a dynamic way that addresses the medium’s strengths, mobile media can actually get us to engage with each other and with the spaces we move through in deep, meaningful, and context-rich ways.

  • It is apparent that the students often shift between the two classroom spheres. Does this “distraction” take them away from engaging with the content I’m presenting? Quite the contrary. From my experience, they are engaged with the material that is being discussed in a much more sustained way because the devices that have typically severed as “distractions” in the past (e.g. using the laptop or the mobile phone to access Facebook) are now being utilized to constantly engage them with the material.
  • The quiz began with a QR code posted on my office door (I started here so they would all know where my office was located!) that led them to a download of the 7scenes app.
  • from Broadcastr to Foursquare
  • When they arrived to class on the day of the field test, we all went geocaching around campus.
  • The three groups each decided to create fictional narratives and used a range of mobile media from websites designed for the iPad, geocaches that contained narrative elements, and one group even built a reverse geocache that held the contents of the story.
  • Soon, if it hasn’t happened already, every teacher in higher education will have to develop a strategy for mobile phone use in the classroom (whether that be to integrate the technology or to ban it).

    This comment is about Dipity (I didn't find how to post it there)... I'm loving it!!! I have to make the time to play with it and learn how to use it well! (Casey Anthony has already her own timeline he he.... You can tell they're pretty up-to-date :D )

    An excellent site detailing the introduction of certain technological advances in the school classroom. There is also a picture of each one for you visual learners.

    A great graphic aid of "learning machines" from the 17th century to present. The most interesting anology is that of the IPad and the slate. Technology making a 360!!

    I thought this gave a good overview of a timeline for technology in classrooms. One fact that stood out to me was that in 1984 in public schools, there was an average of 1 computer for every 92 students and in 2008, it was 1 computer to every 4 students.

    I thought this was an interesting article about the rising use of the interactive whiteboards in classrooms. The use of this assistive technology has increased in the last several years. I was amazed to see that in 2008, 70% of schools in UK already had these in their classrooms. Many of our classes in Henrico have recently gotten them.

    Classroom management is essential if you want the students to learn. There is much literature and many theories on the topic. Article to highlight what teachers should be doing and what admins. should be seeing.

    This is a video that goes through the different phases of technology use in Education. It is an advertisement for Smart equipment, but it's still an interesting short video

    I noticed that the commonality over time was the users ingenuity in how he interfaced with the given resources.
  • Kim Wilkens on 28 May 12
     
    Nice find. Interesting how they showed the digital age in 1995 with people connecting all over the world, but then back in the classroom in 2000 with smartboards not really used to connect with others. In the video, it doesn't look like the smartboard is changing the classroom dynamic of teacher-centered learning.
