learning with mobile and web
The range of technologies being discussed could be used by learners to collect evidence, capture 'learning moments' and thoughts for collation in a reflective learning journal for further, deeper reflection. The 'bricollage' of evidence is not only makes the learing personal but helps learners and tteachers understand progress within a well designed series of activities.
Another benefit is that such approaches can help learners develop a 'voice'.

some activities for using mobiles
Social science exercise
On multicultural issues
Senario, Sending student on a field trip in their own city to collect images, video, interviews, make notes, historical data and upload to a blog for further analysis, discussion, feedback and maybe in the future, developing a Wiki or google doc of the experience in order to combine the best of the resources to tell a story.
Including refection and evaluation of the process, possibility peer assessment.

feedback
Advantages - suits any learning style, encourages students to contribute
as they can do this in most comfortable way.

Gives ability to work anywhere - example, phonecast could be completed on
the bus on way to class. Technology allows student to fit learning around
their life.

evaluate retail strategies of shops and stores.

Ideas for texting
* Use texting for brainstorm sessions in class with large groups.
* History game on location. Students doing tasks on location and reporting back task output to headquarters. See Frequency 1550: http://freq1550.waag.org/
* Receiving feedback during lectures.

Our Idea
if reflection is postponed until the end of the unit. Our idea is to
ask students to text or Tweet short bursts of reflection after each
taught session. Reflection can be shared with the whole group but can
remain anonymous if need be. At the end if the unit short burst
reflections can be collated to allow a student to reflect holisticly
on the whole unit.
Phew!
Learning activity using texting
Ask students to identify and photograph or video 3 examples of architecture from a specified period using their mobile phones.
They should also provide a comment in 160 character text message per example justifying why this is a good example of the chosen architectural example.
All contributions will be posted to a central blog allowing students to peer review, comment and rate each contribution.
The best 3 examples chosen by the students could then form a platform for further discussion in a seminar or lecture.
Text activity
Scenario:
Medical students complete "signup" sessions in wards and clinics within
the hospital. These are voluntary sessions and students may complete any
number of them.
The plan is to allow the students to text in their feedback to a central
point - this could include learning points, rating and any other relevant
info. The use of text message will force the student to be concise and to
the point.
During traditional tutorial sessions, the amalgamated feedback is used for
discusion and further exploratory learning. This should stimulate
higher-level thinking amongst the students, rather than simply treating
the signups as an information gathering exercise.
Additionally, the feedback can be used for quality audit purposes to
ensure constant improvement and review.

Text learning activity
Evaluating Information using the PROMPT mnemonic
Activity: Look at a piece of information and apply the PROMPT criteria to it. Text which criteria the piece of information meets. Are there any missing?
Here are the criteria:
P Presentation
R Relevance
O Objectivity
M Method
P Provenance
T Timeliness
task 3 thoughts
Students can use mobile to send reflections, gather evidence using multimedia
capabilities of their mobile phones, communicate via txt or voice with peers &
tutors --- Can be useful for students doing practical courses, e.g. Nursing,
Engineering, Sciences, which require students to reach pre-determined
competencies.

Ideas for mobile phone use
I think the principle of use should be what value does it add - so instantaneous feedback or reflection that is concise.
I therefore would use it for discussion around articles, news bites, e-articles etc in a learning environment that promotes share learning, discussion and perhaps enquiry based learning. I am not sure that this could be used much for my subject area as much of what I teach is technical and requires the application of rules, principles and formats to produce numbers etc
However, I can see that I could use it for discussion around the numbers in a tutorial setting or seminar - I could also use it for feedback after a lecture etc
However, I would be concerned about the quality of the reflection etc given the word constraint - although this depends on context.

FEEDBACK
Use the Jack Dee method of gathering txts during a lecture or induction and allow time to cherypick and stimulate feedback and urther input after the lecture ends.
Use for more comprehensive approach to teaching languages, particulalry in grammatical structures

Learning activity that requires texting
Introduce a topic, ask open questions and invite students to respond
using SMS text. Would produce deeper responses than multiple choice
and could produce further discussion.
