Cellphones as Learning Tools…the movie
Posted by: Dean Shareski in Video, mobilelearningAs promised, here’s a quick inside look at one school’s efforts to use cellphones as learning tools. This video doesn’t really do justice to the actually learning that is taken place. The cellphone is enabling students to easily incorporate a variety of communication skills and allows them to share content easily. This is still in its early stages but does capture the concept that learning tools are right in our students’ hands.

Cell Phones as Learning Tools…
Have you ever seen cell phones used in the classroom? Have you ever considered using cell phones in the classroom? If you keep an open mind you’ll find that there are some potential benefits in integrating cell phones with teaching and learning. …

That is why we have classrooms so we can really see what is going on around us and there is much more interactivity. I know how cool it is to use cellphone but it just doesn’t feel right. The cellphone just have so many features that can distract students.

Cellphones?
This actually looks like a legitimate comment but it’s weird addressing someone as “Cellphone”,
Anyway, this has little to do with “cool”. But with learning. We have our own perceptions about what a cellphone is and is used for and this often makes it difficult to see how this can help learning.
A computer can be distracting as well. So can many other things. That’s part of the learning. How do we leverage the powerful aspects of the phone and minimize the distractions? This little experiment isn’t attempting to do anything more than explore these questions. The day is coming when these devices will be standard fare in classrooms. Working together with students to develop protocols and ethics goes a long way in the successful implementation of anything new.

Cellphones,
I envision cell phones being used in the classroom to enhance what it going on rather than to pull the students out of that environment. By definition a tool is supposed to be helpful and I think that there are curricular areas and activities in which the use of cell phone would be beneficial.
