Re: 21st Century Computer Skills elementary school

Yea Norman!
I am always amazed by all the dithering around posting homework
assignments online- does it take up too much of the teacher's?
shouldn't the student be responsible enough to write assignments in
the planner? and on and on........

Why not encourage students to snap a picture of the assignment
written on the board with a cell phone?
Why not remind students they can use some cell phones to create an
audio memo to themselves?

These are just two examples of how cell phones can support learning
but it is rare to seem their use permitted or encouraged.
