Cell Phones in the Classroom
![Page 3: Cell Phones in the Classroom. I’m on my Cell Phone.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649dc35503460f94ab5179/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Cell Phones as “Clickers
• Using Poll Anywhere (www.pollanywhere.com), teachers can quiz students and determine their mastery of concepts during teaching, students can conduct “surveys” on research topics, administrators can get feedback from staff.
• Feedback is instant, no account sign up required

Cell Phones as Cameras
• Students can create the following using their cell phones for still or video images:– Documentaries– Digital Image Storybooks– Claymation– Interviews– Skits or Dramatic Readings– News Broadcasts
• All of these support writing across the curriculum, as students can be required to submit a written (or typed) storyboard or narrative for their project. Another idea is to enhance a blog with photos or video.
• Pictures and videos can be easily uploaded to Blogger, Photobucket, Flickr or Youtube for teacher/class review.

Brainstorming Sessions
• Using Wiffiti (http://wiffiti.com), students can text ideas to a live online screen that has continuous updates.
• Teachers have controls, including “approving” posts and filtering inappropriate words.

Note Taking and Organization
• Remember the Milk (http://rememberthemilk.com) online planner that will send assignment reminders to your phone via text. Teachers can create groups of students or parents, and then send out reminders for the entire class.
• Braincast (http://braincast.viatalk.com) allows students to record audio with their cell phone and retrieve it later.

Use what you’ve got!
• Cell phones come with tools kids can use!– Memopad – for taking notes or writing reminders.– Task lists – use instead of paper planners.– Calculators– Audio recorders – to record assignments, lectures,
audio reminders or messages to share with parents– “To Go” apps like Word, Excel and Powerpoint– GPS/Maps for geocaching activities– Alarm clocks to remind students when to move from
one activity to another– Internet for research and accessing information

What about lower grades?• Give “homework” assignments that get parents involved:
– Taking pictures of content related plants or animals they encounter in their environment, or others they visit.
– Taking pictures of meals and submitting to “My Food Phone” (www.myfoodphone.com)
– Use teacher’s cell phone for whole class or group activities
• Field Trips• Geocaching or Photomapping• Photo identification of plant, animal or insect
species or types of rocks found at school • Creating video or photo projects for presentation to
class or parents
