PoketMod™: The Ultimate Organizer for Your Students (and Maybe Yourself)
In the land of high tech, high-dollar planning, it is amazing when a simple, useable, solution pops on the scene.
And PocketMod™ is a solution that is so simple that it is elegant.
Forget (no pun intended) paying "big bucks" for a heavy, battery-sapping, wallet-draining, Personal Data Assistant (PDA). PocketMod™ is free and light weight. In fact, it weight only as much as a piece of paper.
How do I know without weighing it, because PocketMod™ is a piece of paper!
How it Works
PocketMod™ is software that you can download for your PC or Apple™. PocketMod™ runs on Adobe™ Flash, so the Flash™ Player must be installed on your computer.
If you don't have the Flash™ Player installed, here is a link to download the Flash™ player…
You can also create PocketMod™ organizers online.
PocketMod™ allows you to customize the many different kinds of organizer pages on eight panels of a single-sided page of paper.
Then, you send the paper to a printer.
You can customize these notes any way you wish, even add them to your wallet-based PDA later.
The PocketMod™ prints folding guides for each panel, and once you see the trick, you will be amazed at someone's ingenuity for devising such a clever product.
Where to get PocketMod™
PocketMod™ can be downloaded without cost from the PocketMod™ site…</p>

Instructional Uses
Once you see what you can do with PocketMod™ you will be able to devise all sorts of classroom and curriculum uses.
A few that come to mind include:
- A useful Art Class Activity
- Student Weekly Organizers
- Organizer Designing Contests
- Manipulative Study Guides
- 3D-Flash Cards
- Mini-StoryBoards for Learning Centers
- Pocket Games for Reward or Fund Raisers
- The possibilities just keep presenting themselves
Download PocketMod™ and devise lots of uses for yourself.
But don't pitch your electronic or leather PDA just yet.
One flaw with this version of the software is that you can't save your custom sheets, and you have to create a fresh design each time you use the software.
But, this software is bound to be a hit with your students.
Introduce them to the program as soon as you can.
