Using Cell Phones in the Classroom When Computers Are Not Available. Congratulations Fabiana!

Internet and Technology in the Classroom have made a huge change in my daily teaching experience. My story starts right after my first online presentation for The Future of Education Reform Symposium 2013, (RSCON4) where I was kindly invited to participate by Shelly Sanchez Terrell. Some hours later, I got a message from Barbara Hoskins Sakamoto, who asked me if I would like to write for this High Tech Ideas in the Low Tech Classroom section in Teaching Village. We do not have computers or tablets in the classroom, only computer labs which are used for computing classes mainly. My first step was to open an account in Edmodo, the educational platform for teachers, in order to protect my students’ online identity.
Syrian teenagers work with top iPhone photographer to produce their own portrait of life in a refugee camp. Save the Children has launched a unique online gallery of images captured by Syrian refugee teenagers on mobile phones.
The BBC launch is online now, under the following slideshow: The iPhone photography project – facilitated by Michael Christopher Brown, a member of world-class Magnum Photos and renowned for his work using iPhones - paints a new and unique portrait of life in Za’atari refugee camp, Jordan. The teenagers, working alongside Save the Children, have created a dedicated Tumblr feed for the project, which will continue to be updated over the next year to give a snapshot of life in the camp.
Brown spent a week at Za’atari in August, running workshops to teach the children - both girls and boys aged 14 to 18 – how to capture and process images on an iPhone. The teenagers selected had already been working with Save the Children, using photography to regain confidence, self-esteem and hope by allowing them to share their stories. How virtual reality lets us see the Syrian refugee crisis with fresh eyes. The civil war in Syria – now in its sixth year – has sparked the largest global displacement of people since World War II.
Nearly one in four people in Lebanon is a Syrian refugee. Half of those are children. Most of the 1.5 million Syrians in this country roughly the size of New Jersey struggle to lead a normal life without a home, a proper job, or a chance at education. To illustrate the harsh reality Syrians face, the International Rescue Committee partnered with virtual reality (VR) production company YouVisit and actor, writer and producer Rashida Jones to produce its first VR film, called “Four Walls.” We sat down with IRC executive producer Cathe Neukum to discuss how virtual reality is changing the way we tell stories.
Q: How did virtual reality come about at the IRC? Technology is always growing; it’s not static, so neither should be our storytelling approach. When you’re watching a traditional video, you’re able to multi-task. So, where do Syrian refugees live? Learn more. 25 Of The Best iPad Apps To Promote Creativity In Students.
