Week 10: Learning through mobile phones
The article “Twenty Ideas for Using Mobile Phones in the Language Classroom” surprised me a lot, principally because I had never heard about these activities. The ideas for using mobile phones and how as teachers, we can apply them to teach English it can results really useful for teachers and students to develop in a better way the learning process.
Something that I want to remember from this articles is the ideas for using mobile phones. I think these ideas are very complete, very creative and helpful for ESL learners. Ideas as use social networks, text messages, voice recorders, and even play video games, etc. through a cell phone can be important tools that one day we can use to teach, so I think is necessary to keep them in mind.
I think every teacher should know about these ideas. Teachers that have a while teaching English using traditional ways (books, audios, exercises, etc.) should start to use these ideas to innovate the English learning process and help students to acquire better the language. Something I would like to share with a colleague is the use of mobile phones. Everyone has a mobile phone, if you ask your students who has a cellphone everyone will say “I have one”, so I think as teachers, we have to take advantage of cell phones to be close of our students and help them to teach English faster and in an easy way, and the ideas from this article can help us to achieve that.

I completely agree when you said that “using mobile phones. I think these ideas are very complete, very creative and helpful for ESL learners” I think that the uses of mobile phone in class can give to the teachers great results that the students. They will be using an authentic material and it is something that will help students in real life. Moreover, I believe that mobile phones not only can be used at the classroom. It also can be useful if the students use it at home in order to reinforce what they have learned in the classroom. There many free apps, websites, blog, etc. in which students can practice. To conclude, teachers needs to have the knowledge about the great benefits of mobile phone and start learning about the benefits and how mobile phone can be used in the classroom to start with this new era :)
