I think everything has been entered ok for the smartphone survey – 134 kids and a test record
In general
- remarkably good responses, lots of comments, nothing weird
- more Facebook accounts, fewer Google accounts – interesting mix of one without the other. I haven’t done the numbers but looks like 1/3 both, 1/3 google only, 1/3 facebook only
- none of these kids respond in cursive
- some suggestions for homework calendars
- quite a few kids mentioned edmodo and pinnacle
- flashcards, quiz prep – good projects for kids to create and share
- educational videos, games mentioned regularly – have kids recommend, demonstrate
- didn’t ask about books, some volunteered info
- digital textbook replacement – coming soon in several states
Suggestions
- more options to use smartphones, through not mandatory
- encourage kids to use outside school – bus, etc. to view videos, listen to podcasts, do flashcard reviews
- study skills – notes, calendars – encourage use of smartphones for organization, review, enrichment
