mobile phones save the learning outcome
We ran into some problems today during a piece of practical work. The aim was to use our new energy meters to verify the equation
Unfortunately, the values on the screen were changing too quickly for us to see them clearly.
Luckily, someone suggested using the camera on their phone to take a photo of the screen. It worked brilliantly.
Very quickly, everyone was able to record their own set of results on a phone and we quickly established that our equation worked. Much better than guessing numbers on a flickering screen.
Brilliant, I love last minute spontaneous uses of technology in unusual ways.
A good argument for having technology (mobiles) available even if you do not know what you are going to do with it.
Tech savvy pupils being taught by an aware and open teacher makes it all come together. Fantastic story.
