Mobile devices are handheld, versatile, motivating, and active learning tools which can fit in Marck Prensky: “Today’s "digital natives" are being exposed to more gadgets and technology than was ever thought possible.” "Our students have changed radically. Today's students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach." It is a personalized learning. How much you want to learn depends on you.
- 10. Foundations of Mobile learning Constructivism: knowledge must be constructed by the learner. It cannot be supplied by the teacher. For the Constructivism humans generate knowledge and meaning. Constructivist teachers: - Pose questions and problems - Allow multiple interpretations and expressions of learning (multiple intelligences) - Encourage group work (sharing of ideas) and the use of peers as resources (collaborative learning within and beyond the classroom)
- 11. Connectivism theory George Siemens : It is about forming connections between people through technology. It recognizes that technology has impacted society and that thoughts on teaching and learning are shifting. FUN FACT: Constructivism, Behaviorism, and cognitivism are the three broad learning theories most often utilized in the creation of instructional environments. These theories, however, were developed in a time when learning was not impacted through technology. Vaill (1996, p.42).
- 12. What are we really preparing students for? "When we ban, rather than embrace real-world technologies, we leave students ill-equipped to know how to harness the power of technology for learning.” Lisa Nielsen: The Innovative Educator bl “Not every classroom can get a laptop every day, so devices like smartphones, even if you have to pair up, become something useful for teachers”
- 13. Mobile learning is effective when… Innovation & real world learning fosters creativity. They learn to integrate artifacts, and experiences that surround their daily lives. Portability and cross-cultural understanding expands the learning outside the classroom walls.

Editor's Notes
- Cell phones traditionally have a bad reputation in educative institutions, but that is starting to change. Instead of banning cell phones, we as forward-thinking educators have to actively embrace them.
- There are 6 billion portable devices all over the world.
- It is the ‘mobile' aspect of mobile learning that makes it stand apart from other types of learning.
- FlemingCollege secondary students work with M-learning they are allowed and encouraged to use their mobile devices in order to research and come up with their presentations
- The student is the person who creates new understanding for him/herself. The teacher coaches, moderates, suggests, but allows the students room to experiment, ask questions, try things that don't work. Learning activities require the students' full commitment. But remember you need to be the provider, the model and the monitor to ignite the spark for their searching of knowledge.
- Learning needs and theories that describe learning principles and processes, should be reflective of underlying social environments.
- Many teachers have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to phones out during class , since they assume—most of the time correctly—that their students are using them to text friends or update their various social media sites. But it is your role as a dynamic non traditional new wave teacher to set rules in the classroom. The world inside and outside schools,
- Many teachers have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to phones out during class , since they assume—most of the time correctly—that their students are using them to text friends or update their various social media sites. But it is your role as a dynamic non traditional new wave teacher to set rules in the classroom.
- You will be surprised to discover that your students are quieter and more focused on their assignments when they are allowed to listen to their music during individual classwork—provided they use headphones and the music is not too loud to distract their classmates. After all, not all learning can be done digitally— we as teachers have to adapt to the changing times Other students who may have difficulty speaking, can use the app's library of symbols and text-to-speech conversion to communicate easily and naturally with others. GREAT both in and out of the classroom. The Apps are all searchable, easy to find and download.
- Use e-books and other digital materials as alternatives to lugging around tons of heavy books
- We usualy Understimate our students but honestly if we think carefully, we realice that most of our students spend an average of 5 hours online, if not all day.
