Mobile barcodes are a cool way that cell phones are now being used - integrating pictures with SMS - it is called MMS.

Hardlinking or linking using barcodes in the real world to the virtual world is an emerging trend of how the world wide web is evolving.

Great points from Stephanie Sandifer on cheating - when she talked about how she cheats every day by using a copy of something from a coworker - I may have already linked to this but it is so powerful, I came back to it!

Here were my thoughts for Stephanie:
"I love how you say that you're "cheating every day." Certainly LEARNING is important, but to me, learning how to find answers and solve problems is the MOST important skill. Some teachers and I were discussing how some kids have book knowledge but fumble at doing science experiments! The practical knowledge eludes many that are good memorizers and what is a good education. To me, rote memorization precludes many from "feeling" educated (because of their poor grades) and makes many think they ARE educated (because of their great grades) when in fact we are indeed testing the wrong thing!

Great points here!"

The replacement for Jott (since they began charging) this is a good entry-level cell phone tool to share in workshops so people can decide if they "get it" before they "get it." Will be using with my students this week.

Fascinating reading for those (like me) who believe that banning cell phones in schools is like damming the Mississippi river without providing outlet - you might do it for a while, but eventually, the dam will break. Eventually the ban will break because of unenforceability and usability of these tools in cash strapped schools.

Here, Mark Hines reflects on his learning from NECC and I bookmarked it as he shared what he learned from the cell phone session that we had on Saturday. We used the PBL model for our workshop and the session had 2 projects during the 3 hours -- such a great group of people!

Jott has a lot of free services. I used to pay for the services (until I got my itouch and it does many of these things) but it is great for those who travel a lot or who type slowly and away from the computer a lot.

Set up free conference calls and allows as many people as you like to set up and participate in the conference call. Many of us use skype, however, if you go over 10, and people are just in the US, you could use this instead.

The great things is that this gives you recording of the conference with no time limit. The MP3 file is given to the host.

This one is from Liz Kolb and is a site that allows you to have extra management features for your email including translating the messages into text. You can create multiple voicemails and greet students and others by name (it reads off caller id.)

You can have students call and leave a message for you as their assignment. It converts to an mp3 for you. Could also use for something like radio call in show, and pull Mp3 files off and then turn into a podcast by remixing in audacity.

If you need to podcast from your phone (or online) you can do it at Gcast. Unfortunately, a subscription for this is now $99 a year, so this is an option probably for mobile principals and administrators who need to podcast to the school or parents while driving to school.
