Discussion…. (10 mins) Identify the key things you believe that teachers would wish to do with a mobile learning device of their own… Identify the key things that you believe that students would choose as priorities for their devices… Identify the uses that you believe that teachers would wish students to do! Do you have an evidence base?

Co-construction as 21stC pedagogy? Not all in agreement with this view… “ My criticism in brief is that constructivism maintains the widespread, commonsensical, subject-centred, Aristotelian-empiricist epistemological paradigm, and by correctly pointing to a major error in empiricist assumptions, it then swings to a relativist epistemology without abandoning the paradigm itself”.

How do we foster student voice and ownership?

Personalisation = One to One Learning?

One to one learning or computing? Bette Manchester: “ There is no question that a laptop for each student is critical if you are trying to personalise the learning for every child. In student centered classrooms these tools need to be in the hands of students 24/7. … .a cart model continues the traditional teacher centric classroom, one in which the teacher controls the resource”. Ownership or loanership?

Changing hearts and minds… How are we going to assist schools to allow widespread mobile use by students? How are we going to change the school culture to facilitate risk-taking? Is allowing students to communicate directly and digitally without teacher mediation an impossible aspiration for most schools – at least on mobile devices?

Handheld Learning Poll

ACTIVITY - Opinions: (10 mins) Will learning technology come in the pocket or from school? What would persuade many/nearly all schools to allow mobile devices to be left on? What sort of activities or opportunities would foster senior management acceptance? Will BSF change any of these or offer new possibilities? How will we move from innovation to sustainability?
