activity please focus your paragraph on what the students do to learn or to demonstrate their learning do not focus on the mobile device see the following example example of an actual submission name robert tuttle roxboro middle school lakein school district shortschester ny level middle school subject modern language spanish i outcome students will narrate eight sentences about a picture or pictures in spanish mobile camera learning activity joellyn listens carefully as her teacher explains that for the topic of food restaurant each student will narrate eight sentences for a given picture or pictures that afternoon joellyn uses her mobile device s camera to take a series of eight picture showing restaurant actions for example she takes pictures of restaurant actions such as to enter to look at the menu and to order etc then the next day in class she shows her pictures to her partner john who narrates a story using those topical actions john says at least one sentence for each photo for example as john looks at joellyn s first picture he says ron enters the italian restaurant for the next picture john says he sits down in a chair john continues until he has narrated all of joellyn s pictures joellyn counts each sentence to make sure that john says eight sentences next joellyn narrates john s pictures while john counts her sentences example from tuttle h g 90

learning smartphone student tablet some administrators still prohibit cell phones and other mobile devices in the classroom they do not change their minds when their teachers send them articles about the benefits of mobile learning in fact they may not even have time to read the articles often when a teacher approaches the administrators with a statement like mobile learning is great they turn a deaf ear they are not interested in technology per se these administrators focus on student improvement however when a teacher says i want to show you how much more students have gained in their learning since the beginning of the year the administrators become interested for example miss thorp shows her administrator mr verona how students have grown in their learning on a major subject area goal she demonstrates the low starting scores on math word problems and their now high scores she does not talk about or show mobile learning once mr verona acknowledges the students major learning improvements then she shows that students used mobile learning to work on grocery store word math problems with students in other states and tells how important the mobile learning was to the learning mr verona now realizes that mobile learning can be a valuable tool in the math class how do you show your administrator improved student learning as a result of mobile learning my three formative

digital story telling apps and multimedia apps exist however most people who list these apps usually present a random list of apps the following categories help teachers to better decide on which type of app will help their students for a particular learning goal the categories focus more on what media the students use rather than their final product although many apps are available in each category only one example has been included also the given app works on both apple devices and android devices if there is no common app then an app for each device is given some categories overlap each app is free predominantly text screen of words after a screen of words any texting program like cel ly students create a caption for a picture babble students create a comic strip by typing in

modern language teachers may be using mobile learning they may not be aware of the various categories of mobile learning apps or of tools the following list gives teachers new resources to use in their classroom teachers can use some mobile apps to help flip the language classroom since students can pre study the vocabulary or pre study a verb video likewise the foreign language teacher can have students use specific apps if they display a learning gap on a formative assessment even more important the teacher can have the students listen to native speakers read target language newspapers and see up to the minute culture in the country to find a particular app the teacher searches with terms such as spanish radio app ipad or french verb forms android app many apps and tools are free or

tablet i have numerous reasons why i prefer a smartphone over tablets for students 1 students always have their smartphone with them regardless of where they are students do not always carry their tablets with them for example mary may not take her tablet to swim practice but she will have her smartphone with her just before practice she goes to her history class s website to get the link to a video chris will not take his tablet to work but he will have his smartphone with him so during break he can learn or practice his spanish words learning can only be 24 7 if the students have their mobile device with them 2 smartphones allow students to text students spend much time texting in their daily life they texted on an average of 60 texts a day in 2011 teachers can have students text to find out information from others outside the classroom to collaborate on projects and to write when students text others they usually get immediate responses 3 the show who wants to be a millionaire gave us the expression phone a friend and illustrated that people can learn from others when students use a smartphone they can call a person to ask questions do a follow up or clarify information students can talk to an expert user of the learning concept such as a contractor a business person or an artist when students talk to people outside the classroom they see their in class learning as something real students can shadow professionals through weekly phone calls 4 smartphones are cheaper than tablets a parent can purchase a high quality smartphone for their child for less than a
