Networking through conversations
Hello! One of my students always uses her
mobile for taking notes of her home assignment.
Response to post on mobile phone use
• Hi Anne,
I am sorry, I have just seen your question. I know, some schools don’t
allow mobile phones at school at all. Mobiles are not allowed during state
exams. There are no rules about them in my school. Neither my students
nor I make phone calls during lessons unless it is necessary. You know, I am
teaching students with disabilities. In fact, I can’t remember them using
their phones rather than show me some picture and speak about them, or
take notes, or record themselves. I think, it is better to make good use of
technology than to ban it in class.
All my students have mobiles, even the one with palsy who has difficulty
using his hands. He has iPhone (has had several versions, in fact), iPad and
some other gadgets at home. My kids are used to dealing with different
keyboards during their face-to-face lessons.
My student Mary uses the app ‘Заметки’ on her Samsung Mobile TV. The
word means ‘notes’ in English. She is taking exams this week, I will ask her
to show the app to me next week.\

• Its fun to see that you are actually letting
students do this, I dont see a reason why you
shouldn’t.
• When I was in the university, we used to do this
to copy (lets say) “notes”, but mobile phones in
general were frowned upon by the staff. Of
course, all of them had one of those in their
pockets, still for some reason, we werent allowed
to have one.
Too Young for Technology
Culture Shock

• Hi Anne, thanks for replying to my culture shock
survey. It’s interesting what things bring us down. Food
and regular (in our countries at least) rituals and
holidays seem to be the things we really miss abroad.
I’d love to read your responses to any of the questions.
I’m happy to share the information I get, and your
comment about hoping to incorporate the answers
into a curriculum has made me wonder about how
children, exchange students or those who move with
their families, experience culture shock.
