Learning diary of the BYOD for Mobile Learning Intef NOOC.
Objective:
At the end of the NOOC you will create a lesson plan using Mobile Learning and ask the students to bring their devices to school to work on them.
I have never been a big fan of using mobile devices in schools. I was always very concerned about e-safety and I also believed that phones distracted students – I have actually confiscated quite a few during lessons when students were not supposed to be using them. However, I have recently tried a couple of mobile device activities with my smallest, most reliable groups of students and I have to say I have mixed feelings about their use now. That is why I thought it would be useful to reflect on this issue, research and think about the pros and cons and maybe consider adding the use of mobile devices for learning. I think this course is going to help me do that.
Task 1. SWOT analysis – BYOD for Mobile Learning
Task 2. Example of good practise with mobile devices – Augmented Reality
Final task. Design a lesson plan to implement in your class with your students
Well, this is my finished product. This is the format I would use in my actual lesson. I have just modified a few sections in the original lesson plan:
I have also included a presentation which contains the same information. I have structured it following the NOOC’s rubric to make it more peer-assessment friendly. I hope it makes sense and whoever marks it finds it more interesting than my lesson plan 🙂
Final thoughts
I have really enjoyed reflecting on my teaching practice and I would like to keep researching and learning new BYOD ideas and techniques. I have already tried the Quizlet Live activity and it was really successful. I cannot wait to put into practice the Augmented Reality one. I think my students will really enjoy it!
