Texter Or Typer?

Are you a texter or typer? Do you prefer a qwerty keyboard or a mobile phone layout? Do you use predictive text or do you find it difficult? Are you faster at texting than typing? What do you use most - a keyboard or a mobile phone? What would you prefer to use?

Find out the L7 children's views on the above questions before they put the cre8txt product through a series of tests.

Let's Get Mobile

Mobile phones are now part of our lives where we can use them anytime, anyplace, anyhere. The 'anytime, anyplace, anywhere' slogan does not always work due to restrictions that are in place. In hospitals we are not allowed to use mobile phones as they interfere with the hosipital equipment. In garages mobiles should be turned off when in the forecourt just like when we come into classrooms.

Before we start learning about how to use mobile phones constructively, let's find out what we know about mobile phones at the present. How young do you think you should be before you have a mobile phone? How much should you pay for a mobile phone? What devices do you want on a mobile phone? Where should you be allowed to use them?

These are just a few questions given to the L7 children who are exploring the potential of mobile phones.

Mobile Phones - Good Or Bad?

Today four primary seven children, Mrs Tonner and Mrs Rose went on the train to Glasgow to the SECC. Olivia, Jenna, Ronan and Rory were helping Mrs Tonner with her presentation about mobile phones in education. We wanted to show how they could be used constructively. At the end of the talk we invited our guests to ask us a question about mobile phones using their phones. On our way home we hope to use Mrs Tonner's phone to look at the blog and answer their questions. Let's hope they are not too tricky!
