13. Cell phones - The simplest of them

can be used for group discussions
via text messaging and for
photography-based projects.
Students can also record
themselves reading stories aloud
for writers’ workshops or
practicing speeches.

students, the more likely they are to
be wielding one of these. Like

that can easily be channeled into
classroom inquiry.

15. E-Book Readers - Their
fundamental function is for reading
books and storing entire libraries.
They also provide easy access to

use their e-book readers as a
replacement for the daily

editions and magazines on it.
Types of devices
16. iPods - Free lectures and short
videos are available for
downloading via the iTunes U
app, or on the Internet Apps can
also be downloaded onto the
devices and many are equipped
with cameras students can use to
shoot and to post to a website.
Types of devices
17. Tablets - Apple’s iPad, the Kindle
Fire, and the Galaxy are just a few
models of tablets, and they can do
anything e-book readers can do and
then some. Downloadable apps, many
educational, make these machines
nearly comparable to computers; you
can surf the Web, play games, watch
(and even make) movies, as well as
take photographs
