Will Mobile Devices Lessen the Technological Divide?

Cell Phones

According to Soloway, in "Will Smart Phones Eliminate the Digital Divide" by David Nagel, cell phones will be in the hands of all grade K-12 students in the near future.  This is because they are portable, at a price point that can be affordable by all, they provide the tools for 21st Century Learning and they are the student's device of choice. In our board we have the BYOD (bring your own device policy) and the majority of our older students do bring cell phones.  However, students are bringing cell phones at earlier ages.

Classroom Use:  watch videos for flipped classroom viewing; for recording a lesson for pre-teeaching or re-teaching; students response; access drop box

iPads

Our board is piloting a few projects that involve the use of iPads. The pilot projects currently address the learning needs of some of our students with developmental disabilities, limited to no communication abilities, vision challenges and students working with our Itinerant Resource Teachers.
