74. Cell phones


lately I have had cause to use my phone to snap a pics of students in action and record their stories through the voice recorder. Instant data gathering of learning in action. Another day I was doing some long haul driving and planning. I used the voice recorder on my cell phone to record my reflections and ideas as I drove......From my phone I could send that data in various formats to any number of places.... email, internet, open source software and of course another cell phone. Mobile learning at it's best. Sometimes in the rush to do more and better we over look the simple but effective. My cell phone is a basic model, a small and unsophisticated piece of technology, but a very powerful piece of technology and a useful tool to support learning.
