  1. Emerging Mobile Multimedia Classroom Integration Melissa Loflin & KourtneySladek

  2. Current Emerging Mobile Multimedia Devices • Netbooks • iPads • Tablets • iPods • Smartphones • GPS

  3. Classroom Uses • Digital Apps Drill, practice, games, problem solving, investigation, whatever you need, there’s an app for that! • Real World Applications Research tool, Dictionary, Thesaurus, Translator, Calculator, Camera, Blogging, Tweeting, Organizing, the uses are limitless. • Interactive Textbook • Assessment Tool

  4. Subject Enhancement History: WWII interactive

  5. Subject Enhancement Math: QuickGraph

  6. Subject Enhancement Geography: GoogleEarth

  7. Subject Enhancement Science: Star Walk

  8. Subject Enhancement Literacy

  9. Subject Enhancement Reading: Aesop’s Quest

  10. Subject Enhancement Art: Sketchbook Pro

  11. Subject Enhancement Bible: Adventure Bible Memory

  12. Subject Enhancement Music: Scales & Modes

  13. Subject Enhancement Physical Education: Sprint Timer

  14. Benefits • Captures interest of students and enlivens lessons • Teaches tech skills while learning other subjects • Encourages student collaboration • Promote greater communication between teacher, students, and parents • Teachers can use management tools to record and monitor student progress and time spent on task. • Accessibility to a wide range of students

  15. Advantages • Pencil & paper lessons can now be done in color, with animation, and with more depth and complexity • Allows for students to use higher-level thinking skills (writing spelling words in a journal can be changed into manipulating letters to create the words or creating a video that shows how spelling rules apply to the words) • Offer more mobility than previous media forms (desktops or laptops) • Can be less costly than some multimedia • Long battery life • Saves time and money copying

  16. Challenges Cost Devices • 1:2 options (Lark, 2011) • Additional components such as: keyboards, apps, software, carrying cases, storage, etc. • Increased Insurance needs • Training • Wireless networking & Infrastructure costs

  17. Challenges Training • Teachers; not only training for devices but also for use and integration in the classroom • Technology personnel may need advanced training • Students and parents should be offered training • How often will training be offered? Updated? • Should parent/student training be required before taking device home?

  18. Challenges Security • Creating & monitoring iTunes, Dropbox or other group accounts • Creating or updating cyber etiquette and ethics policies • Protection from viruses, hackers and other outside threats • Protecting devices from theft

  19. Challenges Ethics • Defining & regulating peer to peer interactions • Student/Teacher interaction and communication • Cheating prevention

  20. Challenges Logistics • Implementation styles: Admin first, pilot class, grade by grade? • Training: Who gets trained, how often, when? • Logistics: How do you print, are the tools kept by a student through multiple grades, turned in over summer, how to manage access during testing, wireless connection setup, digital storage needs • Utilization: Are teachers properly utilizing technology, how will this be measured, do documentation requirements need to adapt to fit a digitally enhanced classroom?

  21. School Struggles Real Schools *Hundred High School, West Virginia Student Body: 175 Device: Laptops Issues: Equipment became obsolete Funding stopped Wear and tear on machines Charging became difficult Verdict: RIP 1:1 laptop program 2000-2010 *While Hundred High used laptops, a “traditional” technology, at the time the program began a 1:1 laptop program was an emerging idea and I believe it offers a long term look at potential issues in future with newer multimedia.

  22. School Struggles Real Schools Zeeland High School, Michigan Student Body: 1,800 Device: Ipads Issues: 25% of devices needed repaired in 1st year Use of flash based materials difficult Some unhappy with level of utilization Some students abused privilege (off-task use) Verdict: Program is continuing and expanding with the addition of a technology coach for teachers as well as measures to prevent some of the current issues.

  23. School Successes Real Schools Calhoun Middle & High School, West Virginia Student Body: 630 Device: Laptops & Ipads Successes: A 12 year 1:1 program, Calhoun received laptops in 2000 with Hundred High School but were able to sustain their program and continue updating technology through funding as well as grants. They now have a mix of new laptops as well as Ipads as well as ongoing professional development and technology integration support Verdict: Program continues strong

  24. School Successes Real Schools Roslyn High School, New York Student Body: 1,100 – Participating: 50 Device: Ipad Successes: Expected paper and printing savings of $30,000 over 3 year period. Plans to phase out many textbooks as another cost saving measure. Verdict: Program continuing and expanding

  25. Standout School Excellence Denver School of Technology Economically & racially diverse school with some of the highest scores in the state, attributed largely to their technology program. (1:1 laptops for 9th & 10th graders and 1:1 iPads for 11th & 12th,, funded largely through an HP grant) For schools looking for a model to follow this school offers a blueprint for success but not a realistic cost assessment.

  26. Conclusion While there are obstacles to creating a 1:1 initiative utilizing emerging forms of mobile multimedia with proper planning, foresight and training it can offer options beyond a normal classroom or computer lab. The convenience, mobility and interactivity of these devices go a long way toward developing an engaging learning experience for students.
