QUESTION: True or False

I allow pupils to use their mobile phones in particular classes.

New question

• One sentence on the minuses of using mobile phones in

the classroom.

• One only please

Risks…………………….

• Sending friends text messages during class time.

• Any different to paper notes?

Risks…………………….• Sending or receiving test answers.• Cheating at exams, nothing new there!

Risks……………………….

• Non-filtered web access that can be used to spread

content that some parents do not want their children

exposed to.

• Cheaper to access at home using computer or WiFi.

• School Wi-Fi can be filtered.

Cyber bullying

• Bullying or harassment via unwanted

text messaging.

• Taking and distributing inappropriate

digital photos of students.

• Not confined to class or the mobile

phone. School policy needed here.

• More likely to take place outside the

classroom.

Worries ……..• Recording teachers can be detrimental to teacher

reputation• !!!!!

TIPS……………..• Make cell phones

visible. Require students to place their cell phones on the top right-hand corner of their desks when they come into class. That way you will know if someone is texting or calling a friend when they're supposed to be learning.

Pluses………….

• Is cost effective for schools

• Reduces the need for all students to

have access to computers in

classroom

• Need less equipment like digital

cameras, camcorders, mics etc

Pluses………….

• If pupils are going to have them in

schools anyway, irrespective of

whether it is officially allowed, they

may as well be exploited for

learning. Overcomes some of the

problems of ‘distraction’ etc.

Pluses…………..

• Can be used as creative tool – making podcasts, picture

blogs, twittering etc

• Encourages engagement -Socrative

• Pupils are encouraged to use general reference books so

why not phones – as dictionary, spell checker, thesaurus,

encyclopaedia etc.

• As specific research tool via web access

Socrative…………………..

• Results are displayed instantly for

the entire class to see, are updated

in real time, and can be

downloaded for future reference.

• Gather information about content

mastery in their class.

Mobile phone

• Supporting locational learning contexts such as field-trips,

museums and work-based learning

• Enhancing interactivity.

• Engaging ‘shy’ learners through use of familiar, non-

threatening.

Creating – Students create projects that involve video editing,

storytelling, video casting, podcasting, and animating

Evaluating – Students show their understanding of a topic or participate in evaluating a peers understanding of a topic

Analysing –Students complete tasks that involves structuring, surveying, outlining, and organizing

Applying – Students illustrate, present, demonstrate, and simulate

Understanding –students explain, blog, subscribe, categorize, annotate, and tweet. Digital tools to allow students to understand include

Remembering: Students recall, bookmark, list, search, create mind maps

Teaching Chemistry

• Video experiments. Can be edited on device• IOS Perfect Video Editor – Lite• Android Magister video editor• Download to PC and use Window Movie Maker

Video

Teaching Molecular Structure

Pupils then build and construct molecules using Molymod

Video by pupil

Stop Motion animation to illustrate reactions ( Methane and Chlorine)

How to………

1. Clip the mobile on to a retort stand,

facing down at an A4 page.

2. Take individual photos and then play

in sequence OR

3. Download to computer and edit

4. Download stop-motion apps.

5. IOS and Android

Sharing files with pupils Dropbox and Evernote

Use GOQR.ME

QR codes:

Adding QR codes to

word documents for

students to check their

answers

QR Codes:

Print a QR code on a sticker and place in a text book at the relevant point. Pupils scanning the QR code are then taken to related material example a video, web page or source of further information.

Using the mobile as a colorimeter

Test setup:• To measure concentrations.• 4 Cuvettes diluted as follows.• Dilutions: 1,4,16,64• Potassium permanganate solutions.

Android and IOS colour picker programs

• IOS --ColorAssist, PallettesLite

• Android –RGB Color Picker.

• Return CMYK,HSL,HSV,RGB,YUV values for colour of

the solution.

• Example: RGB values for the Potassium Permanganate

solutions

RGB Values• Select the G values and plot a graph

Studying the effects on reaction rate of (i) concentration and (ii) temperature

• The precipitate of sulfur formed gradually obscures a cross marked on paper and placed beneath the reaction flask.

• The rate of reaction, and consequently the time taken to obscure the cross, depends on a number of variables, conc and temp.

• Measure the rate of sulphur formation by using the exposure meter on a mobile phone camera to calculate transmitted light.

Light Sensors

Experimental setup

E-Books………….• Easily read by Amazon Kindle, CoolReader etc available on

all formats.

• PowerPoint's, Docs, PDF etc can all be converted to the e-books using Calibre ( free software)
