Hello!
I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts or experience in using mobile devices to help facilitate classroom activities. This could be in the form of dictionaries, using the device for research, mobile flashcards, etc. At my school, we take away the student's cell phones, and I am trying to find a way to justify keeping them during class to increase learner autonomy in writing essays, learning vocabulary, and in doing research. My students are 12-13-year-old South Korean Middle Schoolers. Is this a misguided endeavor? Any thoughts on how or if I should integrate this into practice would be greatly appreciated!
