Mobile technology

There is clearly a lot that can be done with mobile devices, including PDAs, PSPs (yes - the portable PlayStations), netbooks, the iPad and iPhone or iTouch (with camera), as well as student-response handheld units sold by IWB hardware and/or software suppliers.






These devices were demonstrated being used by students:
  • to record their performance in plays and in sport
  • to record scientific experiments or simply notes on the board
  • to send single key or text responses from their group to the teacher's IWB or computer
  • to play pre-recorded videos or show photographs while a student browses through a text-book or works on an exam paper (using barcodes and a PSP with 'Second Sight' software)
  • to create videos, music, interactive stories, etc, etc using Apps created for the iPad family
