Cell Phones as Learning Tools

February 20th, 2008 |

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. “This video highlights the work of Carla Dolman and Gord Taylor and the grade 8 and 9 students of Craik School.”

Certainly there are things that must be considered when using cell phones in the classroom, but the effective use of math manipulatives also takes careful consideration and preparation. I’m just throwing the idea out there for discussion.

    That’s a great idea. In the pass, many universities dont allow their students to use cell phones in classes. But I think now they have to change their mind for the benefits of cell phones to the teaching and studying.
