So you think I am on my phone too much. You don't ask me about it, but you talk about it at every turn and at anyone who will listen.
You are right. I am on MY phone.
I am taking pictures of our learning.
I am uploading photos of our Art to the Artsonia website.
I am posting photos of our learning and activities to our blog, to Instagram, to twitter.
I am looking up information for a student's project.
I am checking the forecast for a student's baseball game tonight.
I am booking recess appointments on my calendar.
I am making notes about a student's learning on my notepad.
I am using the Running Record app to record and assess students' reading.
I am using the Word Lens app to translate some Spanish we found in a library book.
I am using the calculator to check our calculations during our lesson on Volume.
I am sending out reminders using the Remind 101 app to parents about permission slips.
Yes. I am on MY phone.
Not a device provided by the school division.
And I use it everyday, several times a day.
Unapologetically.
Great post - I can't imagine having to function as a classroom teacher without my smart phone and tablet, as I do many of the same things mentioned here to help enrich my students' days at school, and to share their learning with others!
