Today's topic is the use of mobile phones, ipads and iphones within the classroom. I have created a PMI analysis to assess the devices.
Plus
- Students are familiar with mobile phones
- Can connect to social media, Internet, emails, photos and videos
- Can make calls
- Government incentive for class sets
Minus
- Cyber bullying
- Costly for parents
- Parents may not agree with the approach
- Health issues with radiation
- Battery length
Interesting
- Can create blog, glogsters and prezi
- Researching for assessments can be done on all devices
I think it is inevitable that every child will have an ipad at school as there are so many options available on the devices. I look forward to seeing how students and teachers interact on ipads as the school I am doing my pre-service teaching experience with requires every child to have one.
