I struggle daily with trying to figure out how to put internet capable devices in the hands of my students even a camera would be a great start.
We have a total of 34 reliable laptops for a school of 530 kids…it is a sad situation.
I had a bit of an aha moment when I asked my grade 4/5 class how many of them had either an iPod touch, an iPad, a 3DS or other hand held gaming system that accesses the internet. (they actually didn’t know they could access the internet on them which was another interesting tidbit) Most of them raised their hands to answer yes.
The problem I face is the “no devices at school policy.” How to get around it is the question. I am thinking that I simply ask parents for permission to bring the device to school for use on a project and we go from there. Has anyone out there done this? What did you do?
