CLT are facilitating an ‘iMeet’ workshop on Friday 2nd August at 12-1pm which is an informal get together for staff who are interested in sharing good practice around the use of tablets and other mobile devices in teaching and learning. CLT staff will attend but in no way dominate the meeting nor push any sort of agenda. Open to all interested in using, or at least in thinking about using, or in being critical about using, tablets in teaching and research.

Using tablets and mobiles in teaching and learning

[PeterAlex]

The newest idea coming from the education authorities in my country is making a rule for all state schools to strictly ban the use of mobile phones at school. The situation now varies from school to school, sometimes individual teachers make their own rules for their classes.

The arguments in favour of the ban were that students use mobile phones to play during the classes, to cheat and to bully their colleagues, and only occasionally they really need them e.g. to call or send a message to parents.
