Stortzum-DECA experience with student devices

New public portal-I am trying to post a weekly list of assignments into my classroom Facebook page. The problem is, with 5 preps, I feel like it takes forever to put this up. I am working on doing it once a week. I am also experimenting with creating a calendar in Google, uploading it to my blog and then putting a link in facebook to the blog. https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Stortzum-LHS/242041882518698 (My classroom page) Student devices-I had my students use the GPS feature in NYC last week to determine our location relative to our hotel. This was a great way for students to problem solve on their own when out on free time instead of calling me if they needed directions or were trying to get back to the hotel. I felt it gave them a feeling of more independence instead of making me their first call. I would like to try using the student devices more in class, just need to find the time to figure out a way to incorporate it into a current lesson or create a new one.
