8. Podcasting, Oral Recording, Oral Quizzes Podcasting, oral recordings, and oral quizzes – A number of resources on the Internet allow students to post phone calls as audio files or podcasts. Teachers can create a Google Voice account – http://google.com/voice - that provides a free local phone number associated with the teacher’s phone or voice mailbox. Students can use it to leave recorded homework assignments or test answers.http://google.com/voice

9. Mobile Geotagging Mobile Geotagging – This allows students to post photos, videos, audio recordings, or text messages linked to a particular location. For example, students in a biology class might use Flagr http://flagr.com to take photos of animals in different locations. The teacher can then create a map showing the different habitats and discuss why each animal lives there. Or history students might use GeoGraffiti http://geograffiti.com to go to various historical sites and record brief descriptions of them; the teacher can then create a map and play back the recordings associated with each location.http://flagr.comhttp://geograffiti.com

10. Digital Storybooks Digital storybooks – Yodio http://yodio.com allows students to use their cell phones to create digital stories anytime, anywhere. For example, a first-grade class on a field trip could create a collaborative digital storybook about animals at the zoo.http://yodio.com

11. Self Organization Self-organization – Using voice-to-text applications like Jott http://jott.com and Dial2Do http://dial2do.com, students can call in reminders to themselves, send e-mails or text messages to groups of people, create posts, create a schedule on a Google calendar, listen to their Google calendar, listen to their e-mail, and listen to podcasts and webpages when they are out and about.http://jott.com http://dial2do.com http://wakerupper.com/

12. Photo Projects Photo projects – Photo-sharing sites like Flickr http://flickr.com and Photobucket http://photobucket.com allow students take photos with their cell phones (for example, a math class finding examples of polygons), save a short text message describing each object, and send it all to a private website that the teacher can play back the next day in class. http://flickr.com http://photobucket.com http://animoto.com/

13. Classroom Response Systems Classroom response systems – Poll Everywhere http://polleverywhere.com, Wiffiti http://wiffiti.com, and TextTheMob http://textthemob.com enable teachers to do on-the-spot assessments of students’ learning via their cell phones. http://polleverywhere.com http://wiffiti.com http://textthemob.com

14. Information Gathering Information gathering – On field trips, students can send their questions to a free information site like ChaCha http://chacha.com and get text-message answers back in minutes. http://chacha.com http://www.wolframalpha.com/ http://www.khanacademy.org/

15. Cyber Safety Discuss with students how to stay safe in the mobile world. Sites like ConnectSafely http://www.connectsafely.org are helpful. http://www.connectsafely.org U-tube screener http://www.m86vusafe.com/http://www.m86vusafe.com/
