KELLER VIDEO:  The video listed below is of 5th graders in Keller, TX using cellphone computers equipped with GoKnow's Mobile Learning Environment. The two teachers invovled with this class were received professional  development by GoKnow.  

The video was created by the Pearson Foundation; it is not a commercial for any specific company. Folks who have seen this video have said it should receive an Oscar - it is that good. It really makes the point visually of how kids can effectively use cellphone computers for learning.

 

This file is 32 megs for Windows Media Player and may take a while to download. (click on the words "this file" at the beginning of the sentence)

This file is 40 megs and requires QuickTime Player. (click on the words "this file" at the beginning of the sentence)

If you are not sure which version to download -- here is a rule of thumb: if you are on an APPLE MAC, download the QuickTime version; if you are on a WINDOWS PC download the Windows Media Player version.
