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 mobile learning devices and PollEverywhere to review prior learning.
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.

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.

But rather than fight this uphill battle ( Generation Alpha is forecasted to be more technological than any previous), let's figure out how to leverage these little machines. If used intentionally, mobile devices can be an express pass to exploring beyond the walls of our schools.
I had the pleasure to attend and present at the Midwest Technology Conference in February. This conference was packed with experts sharing their knowledge with cool and exciting ways to integrate technology in the classroom. I left feeling refreshed, revived and rejuvenated ready to tackle the last few months of school.
Our students now in elementary school have never had a time in their lives where mobiletechnology wasn't present. Look at the most innovative technology we have today, you are literally looking at the worst piece of technology our students will see in their lifetime. Such creative approaches appeal to today’s learners.
