A story in the Argus has started a debate about the use of smartphones in education. Here's what their readers, a notoriously grumpy bunch, think about smartphones as educational tools. I'm seeing more students using their phones as instant information points as well as notebooks and cameras, and I'm sure they'd appreciate being asked to integrate their phones even more actively into the lecture theatre.
Anyway - still time to add your vote: Argus Smartphone Poll
I'm using PollEverywhere with the first years this Semester and finding it a good way of getting feedback from groups without having to go round and ask them all. Nice to get each group to text in their responses and have it appear as a live text wall.
