Smartphones

There is a software program called DataInHand which can be used for on the spot assessments in the classroom. The software runs on a hand-held computing device called a Mobi. It allows for the easy recording of real-time observations and eliminates the need to input the data into the computer (the data is automatically downloaded). The device can also take pictures of students' work, make audio recordings of readings and make video clips of presentations. How cool is that?
