Current Emerging Mobile Multimedia Devices
• Netbooks• iPads• Tablets• iPods• Smartphones• GPS
Classroom Uses
• Digital AppsDrill, practice, games, problem solving, investigation, whatever you need, there’s an app for that!
• Real World Applications Research tool, Dictionary, Thesaurus, Translator, Calculator, Camera, Blogging, Tweeting, Organizing, the uses are limitless.
• Interactive Textbook • Assessment Tool

Benefits
• Captures interest of students and enlivens lessons
• Teaches tech skills while learning other subjects• Encourages student collaboration• Promote greater communication between
teacher, students, and parents • Teachers can use management tools to
record and monitor student progress and time spent on task.
• Accessibility to a wide range of students
Advantages
• Pencil & paper lessons can now be done in color, with animation, and with more depth and complexity
• Allows for students to use higher-level thinking skills (writing spelling words in a journal can be changed into manipulating letters to create the words or creating a video that shows how spelling rules apply to the words)
• Offer more mobility than previous media forms (desktops or laptops)
• Can be less costly than some multimedia• Long battery life• Saves time and money copying
Challenges
Devices • 1:2 options (Lark, 2011)
Additional components such as: keyboards, apps, software, carrying cases, storage, etc.
Increased Insurance needs Training Wireless networking & Infrastructure
costs
Cost
Device Cost
Ipod Touch $180 - $360
Kindle Fire $199
Netbook $200-$400
Ipad $400- $600
Challenges
Teachers; not only training for devices but also for use and integration in the classroom
Technology personnel may need advanced training
Students and parents should be offered training
How often will training be offered? Updated?
Should parent/student training be required before taking device home?
Training
Challenges
Creating & monitoring iTunes, Dropbox or other group accounts
Creating or updating cyber etiquette and ethics policies
Protection from viruses, hackers and other outside threats
Protecting devices from theft
Security
Challenges
Defining & regulating peer to peer interactions
Student/Teacher interaction and communication
Cheating prevention
Ethics
Challenges
• Implementation styles: Admin first, pilot class, grade by grade?
• Training: Who gets trained, how often, when?
• Logistics: How do you print, are the tools kept by a student through multiple grades, turned in over summer, how to manage access during testing, wireless connection setup, digital storage needs
• Utilization: Are teachers properly utilizing technology, how will this be measured, do documentation requirements need to adapt to fit a digitally enhanced classroom?
Logistics
School Struggles
*Hundred High School, West VirginiaStudent Body: 175Device: LaptopsIssues: Equipment became obsolete
Funding stoppedWear and tear on machinesCharging became difficult
Verdict: RIP 1:1 laptop program 2000-2010 *While Hundred High used laptops, a “traditional” technology, at the time the program began a 1:1 laptop program was an emerging idea and I believe it offers a long term look at potential issues in future with newer multimedia.
Real Schools
School Struggles
Zeeland High School, MichiganStudent Body: 1,800 Device: IpadsIssues: 25% of devices needed repaired in 1st year
Use of flash based materials difficultSome unhappy with level of utilizationSome students abused privilege (off-task use)
Verdict: Program is continuing and expanding with the addition of a technology coach for teachers as well as measures to prevent some of the current issues.
Real Schools
School Successes
Calhoun Middle & High School, West VirginiaStudent Body: 630Device: Laptops & IpadsSuccesses: A 12 year 1:1 program, Calhoun received laptops in 2000 with Hundred High School but were able to sustain their program and continue updating technology through funding as well as grants.
They now have a mix of new laptops as well as Ipads as well as ongoing professional development and technology integration supportVerdict: Program continues strong
Real Schools
School Successes
Roslyn High School, New YorkStudent Body: 1,100 – Participating: 50 Device: IpadSuccesses: Expected paper and printing savings of $30,000 over 3 year period. Plans to phase out many textbooks as another cost saving measure.Verdict: Program continuing and expanding
Real Schools
Standout School
Denver School of Technology
Economically & racially diverse school with some of the highest scores in the state, attributed largely to their technology program. (1:1 laptops for 9th & 10th graders and 1:1 iPads for 11th & 12th,, funded largely through an HP grant)
For schools looking for a model to follow this school offers a blueprint for success but not a realistic cost assessment.

Excellence
Conclusion
While there are obstacles to creating a 1:1 initiative
utilizing emerging forms of mobile multimedia with proper
planning, foresight and training it can offer options beyond
a normal classroom or computer lab.
The convenience, mobility and interactivity of these
devices go a long way toward developing an engaging
learning experience for students.
