MOBILE Learning?
Flip me!
Using technology to improve independent learning
Thumb war
• In three stages...
WTF?
• Connected people
• Connected learning
• TOTALLY personalised learning
What is flipped learning?
• Rather than the teacher teaching the skills in class, and the
application of learning (the hard bit!) being done at home...
• The learning is set for homework, and the application is done in
class, under the guidance of the teacher who can correct, clarify,
model etc
• The teacher's role changes
• Differentiated student learning
• Own level, own pace
• Multimedia
• Independent
The challenges
• Did they do the learning?
• Did they master the learning?
• Are they independent enough?
Why is mobile learning the answer?
• Accessibility
• Used to learning things this way
• Motivation
• Extends the classroom
• Varies the educational diet
• Clear impact on student organisation
• Moves students from passive to active, collaborative learners
Challenges of mobile learning
• Disengagement
• Cyber-Bullying
• Access to unfiltered material
• Personalisation is the key issue
• Staff: The “sage on the stage”
dilemma
students writing notes
• Evernote
• GoogleDocs
• GoogleSlides
• Exactly the same tools as for AFL
• Multimedia, organisable, taggable,
collaborative, accessible anywhere
The best tools I've found for...

folders
• Tag for cross-reference

attached to the note...
Never to be forgotten

• How much time do you really get to spend with the more able?
• Being comfortable with students learning at their own pace
• The pressure of time and targets

VERY reflective about whether it
is improving the knowledge,
resilience and skills of your
