This document provides information about a survey on effective technology use and mobile learning environments. It discusses barriers to and drivers for mobile learning, as well as essential conditions needed to create mobile learning environments. Key points discussed include the need for visionary leadership, robust technology capacity, professional development, scalability, and policies that promote mobile learning initiatives. The document emphasizes that technology alone cannot create 21st century learning environments but can be a powerful tool to facilitate change when properly supported.

22. The four levels of the SAMR model:Substitution:
the computer stands in for another technological
tool without a significant change in the tool’s
function.Augmentation: the computer replaces
another technological tool, with significant
functionality increase.Modification: the computer
enables the redesign of significant portions of a
task.Redefinition: the computer allows for the
creation of new tasks that would otherwise be
inconceivable without the technology.

Remember what Teachers Say

76. TEACHERS ROLE!
!
Teachers are facilitators of learning. Therefore,
they should not spend time fixing technical
difficulties with students’ personal devices in
the classroom. Teachers should educate and
provide guidance on how to use the device, but
are not responsible for technical support. !
Procedural

77. SAFETY FIRST!
!
Students should connect their device to the
CCSPOD network. Watch for those students
who have mobile plans on their devices and
make sure they are connected to the CCSPOD
network -- this ensures that their Internet is
being filtered.!
!
Teachers must incorporate responsible use of
devices as part of classroom instruction.!
Procedural

78. CHARGING DEVICES!
!
Students should come to school with their
device fully charged. If a student needs to
charge their device, it will be up to the
classroom teacher to decide if they can or not.!
Procedural

79. SECURITY AND DAMAGES!
!
Calhoun County Schools is not liable for any
device that is stolen or damaged. Students and
parents should LABEL their devices/cases with
personal markings to identify the device.!
Procedural

80. Universal Statement across the district for:!
!
Eyes on the Teacher!
“Hands Up”
this means that students should raise both
hands and look at the staff member
Procedural

81. Universal Statement across the district for:!
!
Put Your Device Away!
“X-Out”
this means that students should put their
devices away.
Procedural

82. Students are NOT ALLOWED to!
download apps at school!
!
Teachers should NEVER say to a student “you
HAVE to have this app.”!
!
Encourage students to download apps at home
prior to coming to school.!
!
Provide a list of apps that you would encourage
parents to download for their child. But do not
make it mandatory.!
