IMPORTANT CLARIFICATIONS
• This presentation is NOT telling you that you MUST use any technology.• I am drawing only from experience with
college-level 20-somethings in English for Academic Purposes and an Intensive English Program.• The technology I’m sharing today is a
fraction of what is available. If none of it interests you, hunt for more!

WHY ENCOURAGE THE USE OF THIS TECHNOLOGY?
• It keeps students engaged because it’s new and different

DOES THE LITERATURE SUPPORT IT?
![Page 21: Making Smartphones and Tablets Work Toward, Not Against Classroom Efficacy](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/587478eb1a28ab4a758b743b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
DOES THE LITERATURE SUPPORT IT?
• Arguments against app use:• Gary Stager, an educator who pushed America to
buy laptops for every student, notably called BYOD the worst invention of the 21st century on his blog (and has been repeatedly quoted since) (2011)
• End, Worthman, Matthews, and Wetterau (2010) conducted a study that proved that a cellphone ring (or even vibration) can significantly reduce the ability for all students in the classroom to learn. They suggest that cellphones should be banned from classrooms entirely (p. 57).
![Page 22: Making Smartphones and Tablets Work Toward, Not Against Classroom Efficacy](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/587478eb1a28ab4a758b743b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
DOES THE LITERATURE SUPPORT IT?
• Arguments that support app use (in education):• Ferriter (2010) aptly states that “efforts to
eliminate cell phone use are also short-sighted, especially in an era when fewer dollars are available for classroom supplies” (p. 85).
• Samsiah et al. (2013) argued that a resource as ubiquitous as the smartphone must be utilized by educators in order to stay relevant.
• Larry D. Rosen (2010) suggests that students today have been “rewired” and demand the use of technology in the classroom if we want them to remain engaged.
![Page 23: Making Smartphones and Tablets Work Toward, Not Against Classroom Efficacy](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/587478eb1a28ab4a758b743b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
DOES THE LITERATURE SUPPORT IT?
• Arguments that support app use (in TESOL):• Al-Okaily (2014) found that “a BYOD policy is
both practical and can be effectively implemented in an English Language Program” (p. 3).
• Cakir (2015) suggested that when students can access English learning resources at any time from any where, they become more likely to do so in their free time.
• Brown (2014) argued that English language teachers should develop a theory-informed stance on cellphone use in their classrooms, cautioning against either extreme (complete prohibition or a cellphone free-for-all).
![Page 24: Making Smartphones and Tablets Work Toward, Not Against Classroom Efficacy](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/587478eb1a28ab4a758b743b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
DOES THE LITERATURE SUPPORT IT?
• Studies that support app use (in TESOL):• Gabarre, Gabarre, Din, Shah and Karim
(2014) conducted a learner-centered study in a foreign language classroom in which students were overwhelmingly in favor of the use of iPads.
• Wu (2014) found that a group of students that used a vocabulary learning app (WordLearning) instead of traditional study methods significantly outperformed the control group in vocabulary recognition.

KNOWN ISSUES
• Access • Not all students have internet-connected devices (if they don’t,
you can’t have a BYOD classroom)• Students with newer devices will have fewer problems accessing
materials• Technology Glitches• Technology fails us sometimes. And always at the worst times.• It will be perfect when you practice it for your cat/significant
other/the mirror. Everything will go wrong the next day.• Have a back-up plan!
![Page 49: Making Smartphones and Tablets Work Toward, Not Against Classroom Efficacy](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/587478eb1a28ab4a758b743b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
KNOWN ISSUES
• Comfort • If you don’t feel comfortable trying these methods, do not try
them. Your students can tell if its uncomfortable and they won’t follow along as excitedly as they might if you present it with pride and confidence.
• It takes practice. Your cat/significant other/mirror will hate you for it.
• Training• You need the time it takes to practice and get good at it. Most of
us don’t have that time.• Google and Youtube are there for you. You do not struggle alone.

HOW DO I KNOW IF THE TECHNOLOGY IS RIGHT
FOR ME?

Is it reliable?
Can all of my students easily access it?
Do my students gain something from it?Does it merge with my other activities naturally?Is it easy to learn with minimal language?
Will it help my students in the future?
Does it help me meet my objectives?
