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
Generate QR code to your link.Download file.
Generate QR code to your link.Download file.
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)
