Abstract: The classroom use of web-enabled mobile devices is providing new and exciting opportunities for classroom instruction that can enhance student learning and promote student success. Through the use of web-enabled mobile devices, and existing no-cost applications, this session will model strategies, and engage participants, in the exploration of Digital Collaboration through experiences such as Digital Storytelling, Collaborative Wikis and Blogs, Cooperative Learning Using Mobile Devices, Questing, and Interactive Polling to promote student learning. These engaging and interactive strategies are appropriate for face-to-face, online, and blended-learning classrooms for a variety of grade levels.
