Memes in Education

The sight of students on their phones can sometimes be a sign that students are off task. That is not the case in Joshua Reed's Haltom High School English I class. Here students are using mobile devices, meme generator apps and Padlet to collaborate, create and post authentic products to a global audience. When asked about the activity, Mr. Reed said "My favorite thing about this lesson, is that it's not just students writing definitions or recalling facts. Instead, they are actually showing us that they can process and apply newly learned information."
