Mobile Phones not Clickers
Posted on 9 May 2008 by Michael
An article in Wired Campus by Catherine Rampell would have us encourage our students into ‘constructive’ use of mobile phones in the classroom:
1) Check the spelling/definition of a word
2) Research a topic
3) Look up reference images
4) Pull up maps (even with satellite imagery)
5) Document a science lab with built in digital camera/video
6) Fact check on the fly
7) Mail questions to the teacher that they might be embarrassed to ask
Classroom response system
9) Take quizzes
10) Record and/or listen to podcasts
Would the students have time to listen to the lecturer?
