BYOD in action

Visit graybook7.blogspot.com to see what my sister's 7th grade students have been up to. This was the first time they, or anyone in their school, had capitalized on student-owned devices for deep learning (and TAKS prep, too)!

Welcome!

The following posts were all posted by conference attendees on their mobile devices, such as cell phones, smart phones, iPads, iPod Touches, etc.

Give it a try by sending an email from your device to:
byod.mobilelearning.21st@blogger.com

You can record a video or take a picture and choose to e-mail it, or just send a simple text email. The subject of your post will become the blog headline and any text in the body will be included in the post.

Just think of the possibilities for putting this to use in your classroom....!!!

Ever picked up a note from a student?

Alan November, author of Web Literacy for Educators, makes the point that banning mobile devices because someone might use them for evil ;) is like banning pen and paper because someone wrote a nasty note.  Mobile devices ARE today's pen and paper.
