2 different ways to incorporate cell phones in the classroom!

         Although some teachers think that cell phones are very distractive and unnecessary in the classroom, actually they can benefit from cell phones in their lessons. One way to incorporate cell phones in the class is to use "Wiffiti". It is a dynamic bulletin board which enable students write on it through texting by using their cell phones. To do this, firstly, teachers should create an free account on the web site of Wiffiti. Later, they should customize a screen and provide students a code where they can send their texts. I think that it is very excellent tool because teachers can use it for brainstorming activities or homeworks. For example, in Italian class, the teacher want students to text about their daily routine in Italian. Their messages appear on the screen in seconds.Then, she can demonstarate what they wrote there by using projector and can show their grammer mistakes. I think,Wiffiti is very beneficial learning tool for students.

          The second way to incorporate cell phones in the class is to use "Yodio". To use it, students should create an account and should link it to their cell phone number. Then, they have to call the Yodio number in order to record their voice. Students can use it on field trips to record their observations or teachers want students to record their voice to receive feedback from them after the lesson.
