Idea acf4211:

Mobile Devices in the Classroom

Posted November 17, 2009

  • Posted by: Dave Lanovaz
  • Organization: Trenton High School
  • Location: 15 Fourth Avenue, Trenton, Ontario
  • Category: Improve Education
  • Cost: Medium ($10,000 – $50,000)

We would like to introduce high school students to using mobile technology as an educational tool.

Many students don't think of mobile devices as pocket computers. They see these devices as having a few key features that they use (such as a music player) on a regular basis. We would like to teach students how to use mobile devices as organizational tools and to learn how to install educational applications that can provide both enrichment activities and extra practice for those students who are struggling with some of the content.

In addition to consuming content we would like students to be able to create content right from the classroom. Using a mobile device, students could create blogs, podcasts, wikis as well as online communities.

The goal of the project would be to make teaching and learning more interactive, more current and more exciting for students. We want to prepare students for life-long and life-wide learning.

Our project would require the purchase 2 class sets of mobile devices along with the required accessories for use in a classroom situation. We feel that this will help bring learning into the 21st century.
