Toys to Tools

Toys to tools: connecting student cell phones to education is a ground-breaking volume by Liz Kolb, a former high school technology coordinator now teaching at Madonna University. Kolb tackles the touchy issue of new technologies in the classroom: the factors that led to school-wide bans of personal devices and how educators can alternatively use them to engage students in learning. The book highlights many modern technologies, such as web publishing, mobile notes, YouTube etc. and outlines sample projects which encourage students to use them productively.
