Mobile Learning

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.

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

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”

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?

“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.”

Tax Refund for ITunes• You also have the ability to have tax refunded on iTunes purchases. I recommend doing this perhaps once every month or two with a list of all purchases. Invoices will be available by viewing purchasing history by clicking "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.

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 wont erase your data, but youll 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.

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

• “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.”

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.

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.

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.

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