Like most educators in the blogging world I see the inherit value in educational technology. Combined with sound pedagogical practices, the effective integration of technology has the ability to engage learners in a variety of ways. So what is the most effective classroom technology? application like PollEverywhere.
At New Milford High School we have begun to leverage technology that many students possess. This has led to a Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) initiative, where students are encouraged to bring in their mobilelearning devices, which include cell phones or personal computing devices (laptops, tablets, iPod Touches, eReaders, etc).
Fortunately for me I have already begun to work with my staff and students to transform the teaching and learning culture at New Milford HS as it pertains to cell phones as mobilelearning devices. By the end of last school year many more teachers were incorporating mobilelearning devices into their instruction.
After students decided as a group, they voted individually as a class about their opinion on the source with “ PollEverywhere ,” using their cell phones. In math, Mrs. Chellani began the lesson with mobilelearning devices and PollEverywhere to review prior learning.
As a culminating activity, Mr. Manzo asked the students to take out their mobile devices and submit their questionnaire answers using PollEverywhere. This was an extremely significant event as this represented the first time that a teacher and students used mobile devices in NMHS as a learning tool.
My school is a shell of what it once was when one looks at how far we have come in terms of effectively integrating technology, re-envisioning learning spaces, and providing a foundation for a more relevant and meaningful learning experience for all of our students. That and being digitally resilient.

Last week my school was fortunate to have the NJ School Boards Association (NJSBA) visit to produce a live event called Learn@Lunch: Technology as an Engagement Tool. To put it bluntly, no educational organizations in NJ would have even thought of approaching me to talk about the innovative use of technology at my school.
A few weeks ago, I made a commitment to visit schools that are using social media, smartphones, texting, and other digital technologies, as a vital part of daily classroom instruction. The only criterion that I had was the school had to be entrenched in their use of the above-mentioned technologies.
Tri-State Educational Technology Conference (TSETC) : I have previously blogged about this event, but am compelled to mention it again. This is going to be a great opportunity for my staff to truly experience the power inherent in educational technology when combined with pedagogy. If you can make it, register now!
The only thing though is that this day was just like any other typical day at my school as digital learning has become an embedded component of our school''s culture. For years we have embraced the effective integration of technology to enhance the teaching and learning process.
