Workshop 5A with Leigh Phones in class

The upload and download speeds of the wifi are good

Many of the girls at GGHS have phones

Every girl has a Google Drive and email

I’ve noticed that teachers think there are not enough devices available

There is a big variety of phones in class

Maybe teachers could explore the way that phones could be used in class

There are lots of apps that are easy and fun to use for learning

“In an age of information technology, the last limiting factor you would expect would be the education system. Be the leader and make a difference by trying something new in your teaching methods and classroom environment.”
