Editor's Notes
- The original method of instruction is called as “Sage on the Stage”, where teacher is up front and students are supposed to listen attentively. This has been the normal way to teach students for easily for the last two hundred years, if not more. The problem is the perspective the student has in this style
- It is important to understand that technology is not their to teach the class, nor is it there to replace you, it is there to help YOU teach the class. The traditional tool of the teacher was the chalk and blackboard which unless you are an artist, makes it really difficult to get a point across. Technology simply allows you to do so much more, it allows you to bring your lessons to life.
- There are several options for mobile devices, each with its own set of strengths and weaknesses. They key is to find a solution that works for you and can handle the plan you have for it.
- The fact of the matter is that today’s students in K-12 are growing up with this technology in hand, these devices that may have been luxuries to some of us growing up (if they even existed) are now the norm! It is very easy to say that if you allow these devices, the students will misuse and play with them in class. This is where you come in as a teacher and need to incorporate them into your lessons and essentially make these “toys” into “tools”! The take away from this is that you should assume students will play with the devices, show them how to use them properly.
- How you get the technology is going to require a lot of homework of your own. You will need to contact your Information Technology and see what resources are at your disposal. You will need to check with your own administrator and see if these devices are allowed on your campus. Some schools allow what is known as BYOD which means students and teachers can bring and use their devices on campus and on their internal network. Some campuses even have a set of tablets instead of textbooks. Depending on your school district policies, students may be allowed to carry a personal smart device or perhaps the campus provides them as part of the curriculum. Whatever the case the tools might already be there…
- So now that we have figured out where to get the technology, we finally get to what we can do with it. This will be a high level look at some of the options available to take advantage of mobile devices and media.
- Most districts have a very tight budget and if you are lucky you might have 3 computers in your classroom of about 30! Some campuses use a technology called Virtual desktops, if you do your computers will not have the normal desktop or tower you are used to seeing and on the back of the screen you will see a device like grey one pictured here. If this is the case check with your district IT and see if they offer Virtual desktops. If they do you might have the option of actually using a computer right from your mobile device! Yes, you can use Windows and all it programs from anywhere and now every student can have a computer desktop to use right from their campus provided or personal device.
- Apps like Evernote and MicrosoftOnenote give you the ability to have your students keep a journal or take notes on their devices. The goal is to show them that note taking can be fun on these devices. These apps and their respective PC counterparts allow the user to not only take notes, but add graphics and videos! So notes are no longer the boring task that they were before.
- Cloud technology both Cloud Storage and Cloud Computing were made to go hand in hand with mobile devices. I know that the whole “Cloud” idea scares people, is it safe? Where exactly is the cloud? Believe me explaining what the cloud is and how it works is just as scary. This video however is a great way of explaining it so that anyone can understand how it works.
- Services like Microsoft SkyDrive, Dropbox, and Google Drive all allow you collaborate with your students both in the classroom and on the go with your mobile device. Whether you are sharing assignments or receiving assignments these services make it easy. The best part about all these services is that they are all free for initial use and along with these there are several other options available
- Where as you and I probably grew up knowing what a paperback, this next generation is working strictly with digital books. Most classrooms now offer a digital copy of the book that students can access via the internet. Although companies like Amazon and Barnes & Noble pioneered electronic book (known as an E-Book now), it wasn’t until Apple release it’s iBooks that added multimedia to these books that it revolutionized the way we read today. Why read black and white when we can see images and articles come to life?
- There was a time when research meant long hours, sometimes long nights at the library! Today “Google” has become a verb and libraries are rapidly becoming obsolete. Students have the entire internet in the palm of their hands. Students today have more information than the US President had over 15 years ago. http://rapmusic.com/threads/a-kid-in-africa-with-a-smartphone.1275901/A kid in Africa with a smartphone...Discussion in 'Overtime: Off-Topic Discussion' started by reznick, Apr 18, 2011.
- The benefit of any mobile platform is that there are literally thousands of apps available and there is almost certainly an app that falls in line with what you want to do with your mobile devices. There are apps on just about any subject or topic there are apps that can do just about anything, the sky or better yet the CLOUD is the limit!
