What I Did This School Year

What I Did This School Year
The discussion will be audio recorded, converted into mp3 format, and posted on the internet for listening as a podcast later. Come and share how you used technology this year in the classroom. Let us know if it went well, or share your horror story. We’ll discuss how it could have been better, or worse. Feel free to bring products of the lesson to share. If you have a digital copy of the lesson bring that along also and we can post the file on our Starcast page.

Here is the mp3 file from the April 22 Star grant meeting. 23.6 MB (25 minutes 50 seconds)

Cell phones in Learning
Cell phones have the capability to become the "Swiss army knife" for student research and organization. First, we explore using cell phones as data collection tools: audio recorders, digital cameras, and digital camcorders. Additionally, we consider how classroom projects can be developed for cell phones: creating ring tones, text messaging, mobile WebPages, and mobile surveys. Finally, we contemplate the future features of cell phones and how those features play a role in learning.
