Do all of my students need a mobile device for me to use mobile technology in my classroom?
There are many options to use mobile technology if all students do not have a mobile device. Some teachers have students work in groups of 4-5 students to work with a group and respond using a device. Other teachers have a "technology station", where each student gets an opportunity throughout the day to do the mobile technology activity.

Do I need to pay for apps?
Many apps are free, or have a free portion of the app. This free portion is usually enough for simple classroom use. New apps are being released constantly, so many times you can find a free version of a paid app if you are interested in trying it out.
