Hi Liz - I think you make a very interesting point about letting pupils be the experts when using technology. It's a big leap of faith for us as teachers to step back and allow pupils to explore - but by embracing the interests that pupils have in mobile and tablet technology we really can get them engaged in the classroom.
This is exactly what we need to be all aiming for as teachers; letting the pupils be the guides and architects of their own learning. That must be so liberating and motivating for you!

ReplyDeleteHear hear- we've got to let kids run with it sometimes and just guide their path!
