Cell Phones in the Classroom : Learning Tools for the 21st Century

This is well done - clearly lots of time spent researching and assembling this.

Well done. I am surprised that this one has not been viewed more. We are in the process of integrating mobile technologies into our classroom. This video will help us explain our purpose. Thanks again for a job well done!

@stoneybrook99 Thanks... where are you using cell phones as instructional tools? Keep up the progressive thinking and use the tools we have to teach the now generation of students.... How can you help to spread this video?

This is a super video...I use cell phones in my university classrooms, well done.

0:42 LOL was that an iPoid touch? ahaha no! really?!

Connectivity is spelled wrong on one of the slides...oops!

"Connectivity" is spelled wrong on one of the slides...oops! So is "separate" on the frames showing the students voting using clickers.

@colin1Lplz iPod touch, or any mobile device can be a great learning tool for engagement for today's learners.

@nursestoner Spread the knowledge. Thanks for your feedback.

@Triumphguy1 The video tells it all. We must be open to creative approaches to meet learners at their level of engagement. Our students spend countless hours online, texting, and playing video games. We need to harness these tools to bring engagement to the 21st Century classroom. Step into my classroom for a day and you'll see how hard it is to reach today's youth. With cell phones I can direct them to a more guided use of technology for positive results and an empowered future.

@Triumphguy1 They are already there. The question is not, "should they be allowed?" The question should be, "how do we harness cellphones for constructive use and engagement?"

@hustlerne11 iMovie... original film work, research, and mix media. A Masters Thesis for Full Sail University. Hope you enjoyed and learned something.

@brankam KUDOS to you as well my friend for understanding the brevity of this concept. Please embed, link and share... I would love to know how you use it for workshops and the reaction it generates.

For anyone looking to use my film for professional presentations... please consider fair use and creative commons. All I ask is that you follow the model that other like @brankam has provided (above) and let me know by email how you intend to use the film, the audience, platform, and reactions. I hope this helps. Thanks.

@TheFrostymountains SAT scores show us literacy, vocab, and math ability. Considering the US focus' on providing a free public education to all types of learners and socio-economic backgrounds. Education reform needs to focus on individual needs instead of trying to applying these one fix solutions to a variety of problems. Mobile technology helps with communication, problem solving, and critical thinking all of which better prepares our students for real world scenarios.

@brankam You can now embed the film if you'd like.

I would like to use a portion of your video, particularly the intro and the rationale for your work. However, I am concerned with copyright on the Simpson's piece. May I use the beginning portion?

MUST GO TO MARYLAND..... CAN'T RESTRAIN

Bart Gets a Z

how do i put this in a flash drive im having trobble

I have been trying to tell people this all year! Cell phones can be used to help with education! But no one listens to Kenny, he's just another 'rebellious kid' wanting to use his cell to text, I wouldn't text anyone in the class except for my friend, Charlie! My other friend doesn't have a cell phone.... :P

StudyBoost can be used too for mobile study platforms

A great video that captures the nuances of using smart devices (tablets, phones, etc.) for learning. One of the big misnomers around these devices in education comes from referring to them as phones. These devices are capable, and used, for far more experiences beyond making a call. They are mini computers and need to be treated as such. 

What is rap music in vidéo ?

Students dont need cell phones in class, they can just leave it in their locker.
