Let’s Get Started
Using Mobile Devices with
Online Tools and Apps
• Exciting and innovative way to teach
• Students enjoy using computers and mobile devices
for learning.
• Important to teach students how to use the devices,
software applications and apps properly and safely.
• Ensure you have permission to use the technology
equipment, software and apps as stated in your district
AUP.
• If not allowed by the AUP, demonstrate to stakeholders
the value of using technology.
• Retention rates and achievement are higher when
students are engaged in the learning process and
using technology.

Teaching with Online
Tools and Apps
• Mobile devices, like laptops, iPads
and cell phones, capture students’
attention and are highly engage
students in technology lessons.
• Traditional lessons don’t engage the
learner as the senses and learning
styles are not affected as when
technology is incorporated.
• Ensure students are monitored to
prevent off-task behavior when using
technology. http://kimcaise.com
