I have enjoyed getting to know the ISTE website and I chose to read an article about a teacher that was given the opportunity to use iPod touches with her students. The teacher was able to have students access the internet, streamline videos, and download applications. Also the teacher strived to use the iPod touches as assessment tools and classroom response devices. This article went on to explain that the teacher utilized the Mobile Learning Assessment (MLA) to create her assessments and surveys of student learning. Here is a link to the site: http://www.gwhizmobile.com/Desktop/MLA.php.
I thought this was a good article, but I am not sure that it apples to my teaching much because I do not have access to iPod touches. I would like to use MLA to create pre-assessment and formative assessment questions, but I would use a digital response device instead of the iPod touch with my students.
I need to know more about digital response devices. Do you have them available? How do you use them? (If you have time shoot me an email about the devices and a link if possible)
