To be honest when I first saw this activity I thought it was going to be all about how we best get RID of mobile phones and draw students attention AWAY from a device that has become an extension of their hand. Apparently my mind had time warped back to the early 90's (sooooooooo long ago, haha). It only took me a few more moments before I realised WOW, I am doing a course on utilising technology in a way than can engage digital learners, not a course on how to stamp out technology (not to mention a device that they seem to love so much!) That's when the the lightbulb sprung on in my head and I thought "students are going to love this, they are obsessed with cellphones!". I felt the 'real world' context was there before I had even clicked on the readings link. So here is my reflection on the journey from "NO Cellphones" to "PRO cellphones"!
I am going to have a go at a concept map. Not sure if this is a good idea or not, but might as well give it a go! I am bored of writing line after line and now I know that there are plenty of online resources out there to engage me I need to hunt them down!
I googled concept map and found a website called
Free Mind which I downloaded. Read a few help topics and FAQ and this is what I came up with (very higildee pigildee beginners map!):
