Cell Phones in the Classroom A Practical Guide for Educators

Liz Kolb

Cell phones have become mini-computers; no longer simply classroom distractions, they are now powerful classroom tools. Your students can use their cell phones to document science labs, record oral exams, and research information. You can use your cell phone to poll your students, communicate with parents, and update your
class blog. In Cell Phones in the Classroom, you’ll get great ideas from educators around the world and from the many lesson plans and tutorials.

This excerpt gives you just a taste of the examples in the book by highlighting two case studies and one lesson plan. Learn how Judy Pederson, a language arts teacher from California, uses Web 2.0 tools in conjunction with student cell phones, and how Jarrod Robinson of Victoria, Australia, incorporates student cell phones into his physical education classes. You can also try out a sample lesson plan and start a live
student radio station.
