STEP 1

๏ Step 1: ASK YOURSELF WHAT YOU’RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE by incorporating mobile devices into your curriculum.

๏ Are you trying to encourage collaboration?

๏ Hoping for students to research with more depth?

๏ Want them to publish their work online?๏ ETC....

The answers will lead you to the right tools. (Think about this over lunch and we will continue this

STEP 2

AND HOW THEY USE THEM
