The Innovative Educator: Using Cell Phones to Increase Student Achievement and Engagement with Reading and Writing | mlearn | Scoop.it

"Cell phones are a terrific tool to support student engagement and achievement in reading and writing. To follow are some ideas explaining how teachers are doing just that by using cell phones in the way they are most commonly used among youth -- for texting and group texting. We will also look at a newly emerging trend...using cell phones to write novels."

This article is really important for me, I have been looking for some information related to the use of technology to implement in my reading workshop. In this article, I learned something which is using the cellphones to have conversations with a special tool such as WhatsApp or any tool that permits people to interact and share ideas through writing or speaking. I will encourage students to share their ideas of whichever book we will be reading in the time we start the workshop through a tool, and also I will promote their writing skills.

iPad Research in Schools - Use and Impact of the iPad

iPad Research in Schools - Use and Impact of the iPad | mlearn | Scoop.it

An in-depth study that took place in Scotland, looking at "issues associated with the deployment of personal mobile devices as tools for teaching and learning."
Four themes were identified:

* How tablet devices impacted teaching and learning?

* Leadership and management issues

* Parental engagement

* Professional development and learning for teachers

The post lists six headlines from the study, including (quoting):

* The adoption of mobile technologies on a personal basis significantly increases access to technology for students, both inside and beyond school, with many attendant benefits for learning which include greater motivation, engagement, parental involvement, and understanding of complex ideas.

 * Teachers are equally engaged by the use of a device like the iPad which has a low learning curve enabling them to use it immediately as a teaching tool and a learning tool for themselves.

For more information click through to the article. To download the report you will need to go a link at the end of the articles "iPad Scotland Evaluation."
