Engagement Activity 3 Working in a wiki
Mobile phone in class
Judgement:
What is wrong with this??
·
Students can
easily get distracted by this tool and not focusing on learning.
Why will this not work?
·
We have
not had enough experience yet with how to bring this technology to class, the
current students will be just on experiment
Is this safe?
·
It can be
safe if there was enough preparation done, I have confident in technology that
can make this approach safe but it brings a lot of risk with it.
Can this be done?
·
This can
be done; it takes long time preparation and testing it out, because it can
easily go wrong. Students may not learn anything if this does not work well.
The Process:
Where
are we now?
·
Some school already have done this.
What
is the next step?
·
Regulation about who mobile can be used in class.
Where
have we been?
What
sort of thinking is needed?
·
Security and safety
Information:
What
information do I have?
·
Mobile phone is used by people in their daily life, it
plays a very important part of our life now.
·
Most of the students would be very excited about
having mobile phone in class.
What
are the facts?
·
Mobile is mainly used as a communication tool, now it
can also be used as a personal organisor and much more.
What
information do I need?
What
do I want to KNOW?
·
I will need to know what type of mobile phone is it.
·
What class we are using mobile phone.
·
How often we are going to use it.
·
What type of applications we are going to use for
class room?
·
Who has approved those applications for the class
room?
Benefits:
What
are the good points?
·
Create connection between students, students and
teacher.
·
Enhancing learning outcome
Why
can this be successful?
·
It can help teaching to be more effective.
Why
is this a good thing?
·
This shows that our education system is evolving through
time, technology going to classroom is essential because we are living in the
world of technology (most of the time), why hide our children from it when they
have to face it one day.
Feelings:
How
do II feel about this?
·
Very exciting but also see it is a big challenge for
teachers to make it work well.
What
do I like about the idea?
·
Students will be hooked. Connected the class with
students’ life.
What
don't I like about the idea?
·
There are expect and unexpected risk with this idea,
we may have students isolate themselves and just communicate with people by
mobile which is not the intension.
Creativity:
What
new ideas are possible with this?
·
We have a new of connecting learners, this would
encourage students to communication support each other, this may help students
to improve their behaviour in class since we have something that’s related to
their life outside of school. Children are the most creative group of people, they
may suggest some new ideas as well.
What
is my suggestion for success?
·
Make sure the safety control is set up really well.
Can
I create something new?
·
Maybe I am not sure yet. Could get students to txt
their answers to me instead of paper.
