Mobile phones in our schools are already controversial. Many fear distracted teenagers texting their friends instead of paying attention to their teachers.
Others educators are looking at mobile devices differently. George Fox University has offered incoming students the option of a traditional laptop or an iPad. Pilot schools have tested using iPod Touches and other devices in class to augment the learning experience.
At Mobile Portland this month we have a panel of educators who will discuss how mobile devices impact education:
* What role do mobile devices have in the class room?
* When are they useful and when are they distracting?
* Do they need to be issued by the school or are there ways to take advantage of devices that students own?
* What are the challenges to effectively using mobile devices in education?
Join us for a spirited and engaging conversation in the final days before school starts again. |
