How will the  students’ mobile device primarily be used? What other ways can teachers have students use mobile devices to engage in  learning?

• to introduce the learning goal to the students  before the teacher does in class  such as in a flipped classroom
• to introduce the learning goal during the class presentation
• to present alternative ways of learning the learning goal
• to practice the learning goal after a presentation (drill and practice)
• to apply the learning concepts at a higher level of thinking (compare/contrast, synthesize, evaluate)
• to incorporate the learning into an individual student’s  big project such as project based learning
• to capture in class learning such as taking a picture of the whiteboard or video recording a project
• as a written, visual, audio or media  prompt for a learning activity
• to collaborate with others within and outside the class on a project
• to compete against other learning groups
• to get information from the web (websites, images, etc.)
• to get information from others via texting, email, etc.
• to  poll or survey students’ interest about some part of the  learning goal
• to assess student learning  and provide feedback to the students (formative assessment)
• to assess students summatively (final grade on unit, project…)
• to collect examples of student work for a portfolio
