Implications and Teaching Opportunities for Camera Use in Teaching and Learning

Part A

 Smart phones have become a common part of the classroom. I think it is will decrease the learning because while you teach you cannot control what every student is using their smart phone for. Student have to be engaged. It is already hard enough to engage the students without using technology.

 I think the you will have to incorporate their phones in the teaching lesson. I think if everyone including the teacher will be using their smart phone. I think you have to use it in a "smart" way. Many people use their phone's for hours a day. I think as a teacher we have to educate them on how to use a smart phone in  a resourceful way.

Part B

 I will be an PE teacher so we could use our smart phones or tablets for many things. I think a step o meter would be the first thing to record how many steps each student will make . A app for different exercise.  We could have a student use their phone to teach different and new exercises such as zumba or yoga. I think one of the best apps would be the health plate app. The health plate  has taken over for the health pyramid. It is the portion of what every one should eat everyday. This would be a great way for the students to track and see if they are eating healthy. They could also give a power point presentation using Discovery Ed. They could use Alabama Virtual Library for the research. They are many apps to help turn your smart phone "problem" into one of the most creative learning classes ever.
