The mobile learning lab had a lot of tools that didn't quite fit into my classroom. I have 3rd and 4th grade students in a small charter school, and as far as I am aware, none of my students have cell phones. We do have a few IPAD's in our school and my students use frequently, so I decided to focus this lab on IPAD's in my classroom. In the past, I have always used the apps that were already on the IPAD's. However, thanks to this website, https://teacher.ocps.net/groups/ipodsintheclassroom/, I found many IPAD's that fit my curriculum than the apps we already had loaded.
An example of an app I have downloaded to fit my curriculum, GeoMasters USA, https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/geomaster-us-states/id335552646?mt=8#, fits my curriculum very well and will be used regularly in my classroom!
I was interested to hear that there are cell phone companies that donate old cell phones to schools. I was not able to look into this yet, but I think this would be a good solution to having a younger class who doesn't have personal cell phones yet.
I also joined a classroom2.0 network and specifically the mobile phones in education group. I didn't know this group existed until today, amand rather excited to see what all this site has to offer.
