6. Mobile Learning

7. Mobile Learning
• What’s it all about?
• •Mobile learning is about communicating.
• •Mobile learning is about connecting.
• •Mobile learning is learning on location and
just in time.

8. What is Mobile Learning?
“Any sort of learning that happens when the
learner is not at a fixed, predetermined
location, or learning that happens when the
learner takes advantage of the learning
opportunities offered by mobile technologies.”
– Wikipedia article on mLearning

9. Importance of Mobile Devices
•32% of all Americans have gotten online with a
mobile device.
•African Americans are the most active users of the
mobile Internet –and their use of it is also growing
the fastest. This means the digital divide between
African Americans and white Americans
diminishes when mobile use is taken into account.
•A recent survey predicts that by the year 2020, most
people across the world will be using a mobile device
as their primary means for connecting to the
Internet.
– •PEW Report “The Future of the Internet”

10. Importance of Tablet Devices
– •Forrester Research predicts that tablet
sales (like the iPad) in the U.S. will exceed
netbook sales by 2012, and desktop sales
by 2015. –What does this mean for educators,
who may still be grappling with how to
successfully integrate stationary PCs and laptops
with varying operating systems into their
curricula?

11. “Students expect
• a learning environment
• that accommodates a mobile
lifestyle,
• integrates today’s digital tools,
• adapts to individual learning styles,
• and encourages collaboration and
teamwork.”

12. Welcome to the Digital Generation!
Group A Group B
•What does learning •How might a
look like in the mobile device

students doing? How
are the activities
different?

"Account" when signed into the iTunes store. You can
request a refund at this email address:
•
• itunes_tax_refunds@apple.com
•
• Please include a copy of your tax exemption form and copy
of the invoice(s). The tax refund will be provided in the
form of a check. Refunds can not be made back to the card
that was used to make the purchase.

78. Troubleshooting (Technical Support):
• Restart your iPad.
• Force any frozen applications to quit.
– Press and hold the Home button on the front of the iPad for 6 to
10 seconds. Then restart it (see Step 1).
• Reset your iPad.
– Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button while you press and hold
the Home button at the same time. This forces your iPad to
restart.
• Reset iPad settings.
– Tap the Settings icon on your Home screen, and then tap
General→Reset→Reset All Settings. Resetting iPad settings won't
erase your data, but you'll probably have to redo some settings
afterwards.
• Restore your iPad.
– Connect your iPad to your computer as though you were about to
sync. Then select the iPad in the iTunes source list and click the
Restore button on the Summary tab.

79. Uses in the Classroom:
• Digital Storytelling with the iPad
• Go-Sky-Watch Planetarium Curriculum
• Flipboard Curriculum (for customized
textbooks)
• 70 Ways to Keep Kids Engaged

80. • “Mobile computing/communication devices
offer a unique opportunity for teachers and
students in different kinds of instructional
settings to capitalize on the flexibility and
freedom afforded by these devices.
• However, these benefits demand new
pedagogies and new approaches to delivering
and facilitating instruction.”

81. Will it be transformational?
• It will offer a more affordable tool than a
complete laptop.
• Its portability will encourage experiential
learning. (Can’t you just envision a class
standing out in the wetlands with their iPads,
collecting data?)
• It will offer new ways to engage students with
text.

82. Will it be transformational?
• It will encourage “paperless” classrooms.
• It will ignite students’ interest levels (as most
new technology seems to do… at least
initially).
• It’s “magical and revolutionary,” qualities that
will evolve and become more apparent.

83. But…
It will not be transformational
if we continue to do
the same old things
that we’ve always done,
just with
an expensive, shiny, new toy.

84. If Apple can do for the K-12
textbook market
what they did for music,
the iPad will change forever
the way kids are taught in school.
