]]> Comment on Looking Forward: Could Smartphones Kill the Standardized Test? by Abe Lateiner http://innovationforthecommongood.com/archives/549/comment-page-1#comment-77 Abe Lateiner Fri, 10 Dec 2010 00:52:44 +0000 http://innovationforthecommongood.com/?p=549#comment-77 David, you bring up an interesting point. I teach 6th-8th grade English in Boston Public Schools. It already feels weird that 95% of my students own smartphones, and yet they play no role in our school day. Of course, that's good, because right now we don't have the technology or the training to ensure that using phones in school would actually benefit our educational goals. If tomorrow I was guaranteed a smartphone for every student and the technology to use those phones for classroom learning, I would not dare try because I have no idea how to manage a classroom using digital technology. And I'm one of the new, young teachers. I'm still trying to get my colleagues to check their email more than once a week. I am pretty handy with a computer and digital technology, but not so much when it comes to using technology for classroom teaching. I look forward to the day when we acknowledge that smart phones have the potential to help educate kids, but I will need serious training, too. David, you bring up an interesting point.
