Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
• Be certain that your campus/ district’s AUP
allows for the use of mobile devices
including cell phones
• If not, let these ideas and lessons open the
doors and serve as models lessons for your
principal, district officials, IT personnel, etc.
• Be BRAVE and an advocate for your students
when necessary and possible!

Why Bother?
• These tools can jazz up lessons and
really motivate students.
• Instead of doing something with
paper/pencil, do the same thing with
a mobile device and web
tool or app.
• Students tune out and we need
them to tune in - cell phones can
help engage then with the content in
a new, meaningful way.

The good teacher explains.
The superior teacher demonstrates.
