I attended the wonderful ETAI conference and the pre-conference workshops
and want to thank all those who organized, presented and otherwise made the
event so exciting, renewing and worthwhile. If I can still say that after
30 years of attending ETAI conferences, just think what others who have
never attended are missing!
Adele brought up the topic of using smart phones in the classroom. This is
a topic I have been looking into for the past year and I'm happy that it
has come to this forum and hope the discussion will be lively. There were
at least 2 talks about this subject at the conference with lots of material
to think about and look into.
Let's not forget that not everyone on the list attended these workshops or
has looked into this subject. So I'd like to suggest that when you send
your ideas to the list, you assume zero and provide
definitions/explanations for technical terms, the level of class the
activity is meant for, the type of phone that can handle the activity,
whether each kid/pair of kids, one in the class, etc. needs to have the
phone in order to do the activity, links to the relevant apps (applications
for the smartphone) and where to download it, and if possible an
article/blog/mail reference for further information.
For example, Adele wrote:
"Another use is to make barcodes with information encoded, and have
the kids use their smartphones to decode the information. Again - not
every
kid needs a smartphone for this."
Thank you for this great idea. Now, how do I make a barcode with encoded
information? What apps do I need for it? For what phone? How do the kids
use their phones to decode? What apps? An example of what kind of info?
