As Alex and I’s topic for Educational Technology Resource is the positive uses of cell phones in the classroom. I decided to gather my personal positive experiences here in order to curate an on going list of applications that I would use as a professional teacher.
QR code generator – being able to create an easy link for students to scan with their phone in order to either get to survey or video on their cell phones.
Kahoot – Being able to create a fun interactive quiz where students can gauge their own understanding with their peers
Discord – Having an online platform where students are able to collaborate with one another, ask questions, and share digital information.
Filming self versus professional for sports – Using apps such as iMovie and Youtube to film yourself performing a task (such as a golf swing) then being able to compare it with a professional swing. A student then may be prompted to compare physical differences between the two and demonstrate progression in future videos.
