Smartphone as a tool for teaching and communicating with students
Journal Title: Edukacyjna Analiza Transakcyjna - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue
Abstract
The aim of the article is to present positive aspects of using smartphones by students. Most of the publications (some of which are cited in this article) concern the dangers connected with improper and excessive smartphone use. For contemporary youth, who are raised with social media, real life is equally important as virtual. If the school does not perceive this fact, it starts to be unattractive. In the article the author describes her experience as a math teacher who is trying to find her place in the world of her students. The publication includes both the results of the survey and conclusions from her experience. The research was conducted among a group of high school students. It involved establishing a lasting relationship with the students in social media and using the media to communicate and help in learning. Another aspect of the study concerned the use of smartphone capabilities directly in the lesson as a source of information (Internet), a device replacing photocopiers (photos of tasks) and didactic help in the form of various free mathematical applications. The author presents various applications, compares their capabilities and describes the students' as well as her own reflections on working with the phone.
