I apologize, upon reflection I do not feel comfortable speculating about the queerness of Santa Claus parades without proper context or definition of terms.
The BYOD/BYOT policy implementation plan outlines using students' personal mobile devices in a 5th grade math classroom to access an online learning management system. It discusses allowing students to check homework, submit assignments, and access resources through the online classroom portal to reduce paper use. For students without devices, teachers would use rotation of shared classroom computers or printed worksheets. Teachers would assign one student per group to be responsible for devices during collaborative work. Several recommended math apps are listed that could be used on school and personal devices throughout the year.
The document discusses various ways that students' cell phones can be integrated into classroom learning. It provides 12 examples of projects using cell phones for tasks like podcasting, note taking, photo sharing, location-based blogging, surveys and quizzes. It also addresses concerns around cell phone use in schools, such as cheating, and suggests establishing clear rules and educating students on appropriate and safe usage.
This document discusses a teacher who created a class iPhone app to keep students informed about class activities and allow communication. The app includes pages for the class website, Twitter account, Facebook page, class contacts, and support. It is meant for the teacher's middle school students, but currently only half have iPhone/iPads. The teacher was reluctant to take on the project but enjoyed creating the simple app and thinks having students design their own could be beneficial. Mobile learning is growing rapidly as more districts adopt online and mobile options.
