    • Very happy to see the conversation moving this way.

      • In the last couple of years, I had been allowing students to use their smartphone in my classroom. We used them as clickers, ways for students to post to my blog, capture video and photos, and to create pod casts.

  • Yesterday, I was trying to finish up my intro to iCurio for some teachers who I couldn’t meet with last week. I meet with our High School English Teacher during second period and later she emailed me the following statement:
