EMBED:

Answer these questions:

  • How do you think the ability to work with a mobile device has helped people who work in:
    • TV News Presenting
    • Emergency Medical Care
    • Plumbing and Maintenence
  • Do you think it is a good thing that we can work from anywhere at anytime? Explain your reason.

CLASSROOM IDEAS:

This outcome is quite school specific.

If you have a BYOD (bring your own device) policy at your school then you will be able to get students to use their own electronic devices to access G-Suite.

A cheap tablet would be an Android one or a Kindle Fire if you are thinking of purchasing some for your department.

Your school will need decent WiFi if you are going to use tablets.

If you have these things then its a good idea to get students to work somewhere else in the school to see how easy it is to work on projects in a mobile location. Its a good practice for getting them focused on a project and using technology responsibly.
