Wow… it sounds like you fit the m-learning profile… at least for a few hours a month! Commuting represents a huge amount of time for many people.
How do you add grades and plan lessons? What software do you use?
Do you ever use your mobile to collect images, sounds or video to share in your Grade 3 classes?

Hi David,
I keep my grades organized with a GoogleDoc spreadsheet, which I can access and edit at work and on my smartphone. I use Google Calendar for my daily planner, which I can also access with my phone.
I have used the phone on my camera to collect images to later share with my class. But, I’ve never thought to collect sounds or video to share with them. I should give that a try, thanks.
