This document discusses mobile learning and the future of education. It argues that learning is becoming more personalized, portable, and participatory due to new technologies. Formal education needs to shift from an industrial, one-size-fits-all model to one centered around the learner and incorporating new tools. Students should have access to one-to-one mobile devices that allow learning anywhere and through user-generated content. The future of learning lies outside traditional classrooms and involves continual, social learning over a lifetime. Teachers must help facilitate this new paradigm by utilizing online resources and becoming experts in information management and technology integration.
