The document discusses using mobile technologies in the classroom and for learning. It defines mobile learning (m-learning) as using devices like PDAs, tablets, and cellphones to deliver modularized information and learning objects anywhere and anytime. Some benefits mentioned include extending learning outside the classroom, linking people and places, and supporting lifelong learning through just-in-time access to resources. Examples provided include mobile wikis, historical tours, citizen activism, and collecting real-time data. The document also discusses how different mobile devices and apps can support various learning theories and styles.

8. Mobile Devices and Types of Learning Behaviorism : Quick feedback or reinforcement can be facilitated through mobile devices. Constructivism : Enable immersive experiences such as those provided by simulations or games. Situated learning : Learners can take mobile devices into authentic learning environments or "context-aware" environments, such as specially equipped museums Collaborative learning : Provide a handy additional means of communication and a portable means of electronic information gathering and sharing. Informal/lifelong learning : Accompany users in their everyday experiences and become a convenient source of information or means of communication that assists with learning. Support/coordination : Provide just-in-time access to learning resources, news, information, planners, address books, calculators, and so forth. L.

13. Educational Technology Survey, March 2009 … said they would like to use their mobile devices to communicate with classmates or other students via eMail, instant messaging, or text messaging; work with their classmates on projects at home or school; and play educational games. They also said they would use their mobile devices to do internet research, record lectures to listen to at a later time, receive alerts about upcoming homework and tests, or access their school's web portal http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/top-news/news-by-subject/technologies/index.cfm?i =57889

23. Replacing OLPC With contributors all over the world, DataDyne.org , a nonprofit open-source software organization, is working on health-care solutions that take advantage of the mobile infrastructures. Its EpiSurveyor mobile public health data collection toolkit can be used to collect health-care information, monitor infection patterns, and coordinate treatment. Working with the Vodafone Group Foundation and the U.N. Foundation, DataDyne.org recently completed a pilot of EpiSurveyor in Kenya, Sierra Leone, and Zambia that is very promising. http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v = EsPRpQfHYOY While reading assigned books in the library, students use the Shuffles to listen to the audiobook version. The Shuffle has no screen and is wearable. So far, the devices have received enthusiastic support. One learner stated that having something in her ears actually helps her to focus on what she is reading. Media Specialist Kristi Alexander said she believes that if she can get students to like to read, their academic achievement will improve, and they will do better in their classes (Gibson, 2008).
