Module 3 Reading Reflection

During this module I found the reading on using iPods in the classroom to be the most beneficial and informational for my classroom purposes. At our high school, we just got wireless throughout the entire building about a month ago. As a building, we are working toward B.Y.O.D. (bring your own device). Almost all of our students have a smartphone, iPod, tablet or other handheld device. We are asking the students to bring these in to use for educational purposes. I have used the graphing calculator app that they talk about in the reading. It works pretty well and students seem to be much more engaged when they can use their own device! I've also used handheld devices as clickers for quizzes. The reading gave me great ideas and sparked my interest to look for new apps that my students might be able to use in the classroom.
