Schools increasingly turn to mobile devices in classrooms
On a recent afternoon, Wisenburg’s students recorded themselves reading from a worksheet about animals.
As they played back their recordings, they circled words skipped or mispronounced.
“You get to see the words you miss,” explained fourth-grader Austin Curry.
On the back of the worksheet, they wrote down key facts they had learned and started browsing the Internet to find more, eagerly showing Wisenburg photos of their animals.
Though the devices were initially used for reading, kids and teachers went beyond using them as pricey voice recorders and began to find a wide variety of uses.
