Don’t be a technology Luddite in the classroom.\n
Technology is a disruption and is often difficult to deal with…much like trying to get rid of a bomb\n
What is the biggest obstacle to tech in school? Students not allowed to use tech in school.\n
The pile of cell phones tells one story, but the body language of the in the first row tells an even bigger story.\n
Students will use devices, to access information, tweet, comment your lecture, get over it.\n
Bring tech into the classroom, but not old tech.\n
The introduction of the iPhone 2007 basically changed classroom technology.\n
We often think of this as the zombie apocalypse.\n

Children are growing up mobile and we need to adapt to the wave of change coming towards us in HigherEd.\n
Getting students to tune in is difficult and requires some nuance.\n
½ of 1% of students will sign up for general SMS notifications about class\n
SMS can be an important tool in communicating with students.\n
SMS notifications can be a “Get Out of Jail Free” card for you later in the term.\n
\n
98% of students will sign up for SMS notifications if it about cancelling class\n

LMS apps support iPhone, Android and Blackberry. But what are your students bring to class?\n

An LMS effectively padlocks the access to your course content\n
Solution – go responsive\n
\n
\n
\n
Get your course content on to a variety of devices.\n
Be future-friendly.\n

My server logs show spikes in access after 11pm to about midnight the night before class.\n
Also, if I give a quiz, my server logs show a spike one hour prior to the quiz. Students will be accessing your\ncontent anywhere, waiting in line at the coffee shop, in the cafeteria, on the bus, etc. \n
One section was given course content strictly through the LMS, the other received the mobile friendly (responsive)\nversion of the content.\n

We all to often see Twitter, Gmail and Facebook as distractions in the classroom.\n
\n

Retweets during an average class.\n
Retweets during student presentations, during which I tweet out student finds or compliment projects and presentations.\n
Sometimes you will get colorful results.\n
\n
There is nothing wrong with being an educational luchador.\n

Ethnography is a simple way to get students to interact with each other and discover course content\noutside of the classroom.\n
Tumblr is an excellent tool for field research, students being able to post text, photos, video\n
