  • le accessing the Internet will be doing so from mobile devices. Perhaps more important for education, Internetcapable mobile devices will outnumber computers within the next year. In Japan, over 75% of Internet users already use a mobile as their first choice for access.

      This statistic is kind of unreal to think about. In just 2 1/2 years most people will use mobile devices to access the internet. I also think the Japan statistic is hard to believe.  Personally, I would prefer a computer to a mobile device like a smartphone or iPhone for internet access because of the larger screen and keyboard.

      It's hard for me to believe that mobile devices will outnumber computers within the next year! I think that a mobile device has benefits, but I am not sure if they outnumber what a computer can do. I understand that mobile devices are portable, but I would much rather work on a computer with a large screen that can do much more than a mobile device.

      It really surprises me that 80% of people accessing the internet will be doing it through mobile devices, but it is a very fast paced growing industry. Most cell phones now sold are smart phones or internet capable phones, so there will soon only be phones like that. The Japanese statistic does not surprise me because they are in the forefront of the technology world when it comes to cell phones, so I think they are way ahead of us when it comes to mobile internet capable devices.
  • es are available to more students in more locations each year. Educational institutions around the world are investing in the infrastructure that supports mobile access, sponsoring programs that provide devices to students who do not already have them, and commissioning custom mobile applications to serve their communities. Mobiles are recognized as advantageous tools for learning and study, and mobile offerings are quickly becoming a selling point for prospective students considering educational options.

      I feel that the accessibility will work greatly towards narrowing the digital divide because mobile devices are much have more components built into one than a laptop. 
  • Bucks County Community College has developed a mobile application for the campus community. Early features focus on library use, allowing users to browse the library collections, map a route to BCCC campus locations, and communicate with library staff. The application will be expanded to include course offerings and other campus resources.

      I find this to be a false statement/an assumption.  Mainly because I do know students who cannot afford a mobile device.  Instead they choose their education.  Maybe in a couple of years this will be true, however teachers can't assume that all students have access to all of the technology that is out there.
  • This application, designed for the iPhone and iPod Touch, is used to explore the 1610 English Canadian settlement at what is now Cupids, Canada. The application includes an interactive map, details about the settlement of the area, and historical information in a variety of media. Visitors to Cupids using the application can use the map to explore real-world locations of the original settlemen

      More historical places should have an app like this.  This would be a great tool to use in a history class.  Especially in school districts that are struggling with money.  This would give those students an opportunity to go on a class trip without ever leaving their class!
  • Easy mobile access also means that the full range of networked information and applications accompany us wherever we go. The Internet is no longer something that is piped into homes and offices via a cable anchored to the wall; it is a pervasive, ever-present entity, accessible from anywhere there is a cell signal

  • Another simple tool, Poll Everywhere, turns mobiles into personal response systems, enabling teachers to quiz students, assess their understanding before, during, and after a lesson, and reveal patterns of thinking in the classroom. Any mobile will work for these purposes; all that is required is the ability to send text (SMS) messages.

      This is a nifty tool and the fact that it works on a simple phone is awesome.  My parents don't pay my phone bill so I don't have a fancy-dancey phone.  There have been a couple times in class where other students were instructed to do something using their smart phones and I got left out.  Not all college students have fancy phones but they can still take part with this tool.

      This statistic is surprisingly believable. The way we access the internet has changed completely, and I think schools should capitalize on this opportunity to bring mobile devices into classrooms. I believe that students will learn better and get more out of a class if they feel comfortable using technology that is already familiar to them, such as their mobile device.
  • The potential of mobile computing is already being demonstrated in hundreds of projects at higher education institutions. At Ball State University, computer science students can study mobile applications programming, creating usable applications in a single semester; recent examples include games, a reference tool for birdwatchers, and an English-Spanish tutoring program

      As you can see, colleges and universities are already getting involved in mobile learning with the creation of applications for different uses. Imagine if teachers could create apps for their classes. Learning would take on a whole different meaning, and might help some students reach new levels of understanding in subjects if they could access information through an application on their phone.

      This is just another example of how mobile devices can be turned from a problem in the classroom (texting) to a solution (a hand-held quiz device). Quizes could be taken at any time, inside or outside of a classroom. Applications such as this show how successful mobile devices can be in a classroom, and how much they can help assess and enhance student learning.
  • Mobiles embody the convergence of several technologies that lend themselves to educational use, including electronic book readers, annotation tools, applications for creation and composition, and social networking tools. GPS and compasses allow sophisticated location and positioning, accelerometers and motion sensors enable the device to be used in completely new ways, digital capture and editing bring rich tools for video, audio, and imaging — more and more, mobiles encompass it all, and innovation in mobile device development continues at an unprecedented pace.
  • For most people in the developed world, a mobile is always close at hand and available with speedy Internet access whenever it is needed.

  • Specialized applications are available that, for many, replace a standard web browser for mobile access. It is not unusual to use several different applications to access online financial information, read and contribute to social networking sites, check email, browse and upload media, and so on.

Mobile Devices and the Flipped Classroom Model « The Mobile Learner - 7 views

  • In the Flipped Classroom model, the sequence is flipped. Teachers record their lesson or lecture and post their recording online for students to access for homework. As the student works through a video in their own time and in their own space, they can pause to think about what the teacher discussed, to take notes, or can replay a section they did not understand. Also, as the instruction is recorded, students can go back anytime and replay video if they are I need of review. Then, class time is dedicated for students to practice their newly acquired skills with classmates and in the presence of their teacher who can observe their understanding or be available to answer questions or address difficulties. The idea here is to free the teacher to spend more time working directly with students.

      School has not always, and still does not, come very easy for me. I have a very hard time focusing in class and to sit and listen through a lecture for as long as I do is very exhausting. I feel as if I have to work twice as hard for my grades and this has always hindered my enthusiasm towards school. However, when I declared my major (PR) I was able to showcase my talents through online projects and open class discussions. We used technology and worked independently and come together to run through what we learned and had trouble on. This method works for students like myself and I am glad something like this is available.

      Students should and need to start taking more control and pride in their education.  There are too many teachers and schools out there where students are getting the "easy" work and the teachers are working the hardest.  At the end of the school day, teachers should not be exhausted, if you are I feel that is a sign you did too much.  The majority of the teachers work is in the planning, not in the actual implementing and instruction, for those the students should take control and lead it.

    • Bryan Poepperling
      Bryan Poepperling on 04 Aug 12
       
      I like the idea of a Flipped Classroom, however, it has to be created and utilized correctly. For example, a teacher has to do a thorough job explaining the material so that there is no grey area in the lecture. Also the teacher should readily check email and make sure the students know they can ask questions and communicate if they have questions on the lecture.
    • Warren Faust

      Actually, teachers will very rarely need to explain material except in the classroom often in just a one to one situation. There are too many sites like KhanAcademy.com that provide free access to already created learning materials in addition to all the pay sites that will pop up with instructional content developed by Instructional Designers.

      This would be useful to many types of learners. The student can go over the lecture as many times they need to in order to understand the content. This allows for a lot of flexibility.

      I think that this type of lecture could be especially useful for students who like to think things over before moving on to the next concept.  Being able to pause the lecture allows for reflection time that is not always available in a regular classroom. Being able to replay parts of the lecture could also be very helpful, especially for students who might be afraid of missing things.

      A flipped classroom could be very beneficial to some students. Students who need extra time understanding something in a traditional class could benefit from a flipped class because they can control what pace they learn at. I like the idea that the teacher is able to spend more time working directly with the students too, I think this will be very helpful for most students. 
    • Carolyn Reitz

      I like how this model allows for students to take their time and finish their work at their own pace. Students need more time in class to collaborate with their peers and allow teachers to spend more one-on-one time with their students, and then homework should be a time for them to reflect on the lesson and organize their thoughts on what they learned.
    • Bonnie Pietropaoli
      Bonnie Pietropaoli on 09 Aug 12
       
      I think this is a great and potentially very effective classroom plan. I feel that too much time is spent talking AT the students in a traditional classroom. Now, they will be able to apply the knowledge they have learned from the online lectures to the activities they participate in class. This is also very helpful for learning material, because if you didn't catch what the teacher said in the lecture the first time they said it, you can rewind them and play it over...which you obviously cannot do in a traditional classroom.

Being able to replay parts of the lecture could also be very helpful, especially for students who might be afraid of missing things.
  • As a result, as educators continue to experiment with new and interesting ways to leverage technology to help their student learn, mobile devices continue to offer an effective platform for teachers and students allowing easy access to content, or in this case, access to lessons, that is available anytime and from anywhere.

      Allowing the student to have access the lessons at anytime is very helpful.  It isn't giving away the answers, the student still needs to absorb the content.

      This is just another example of how mobile devices can facilitate technology integration into schools. They can help make access to content easier, and available anywhere. For students struggling in a regular class, the extra help and access to content outside of class on their phones could be valuable to their success in the class.

      With allowing students to access lesson plans, teachers are providing another resource for students to gain knowledge and information. This extra resource could benefit all types of learners at any given time.

      I think that allowing students to have east access to class materials at any time could change the way students look at education.  The use of technology could make courses much more exciting for students, and having the ability to access the information whenever they want could potentially help motivate them.

      The fact that students can access the lessons from anytime and from anywhere I think is extremely beneficial. This will help the students who feel rushed in a traditional classroom. They will be able to work when they need or want to and at their own pace.

      Mobile devices are great tools to use in the classroom to help students learn. They can have access to content at their finger tips, and this can give them more opportunities to learn while on the go. It also provides an alternative delivery of content for students who are not the typical textbook learners.

      There are so many times throughout the day that I have free time that I would like to spend on studying or learning more class material, but I don't have my book or notes with me. If I could access my course material and lectures on my mobile device, I would be able to use all of the wasted time to learn more information.

      Using a technology students like and are familiar with not only motivates them to learn but also provides an easy way to learn while getting them interested and allowing them to personally connect better with the material.

      The growth of the use of technology in and out of classrooms is a wonderful thing. Our generation is very quick to learn about the latest gadget and to have something hands-on for students to learn from is beneficial.

  • Students are not tied to the physical restraints of the classroom or time constraints of the school day and can use their mobile devices to connect with friends to discuss the material and gain a better understanding of the material before engaging in the practice activities in class the next day.

      A method like this does not only put pressure on the students to finish everything before the class is over but it also helps to build time management skills. It  helps teach the students how to effectively use their time because as convenient as it may be for them, putting it off will only hurt their grades. This will be something the students can learn from an early age.

      Using the mobile device in order to have outside classrooms discussions is a great idea.  I definitely feel that students would be much more prepared for the class the next day.  However, it is also hard for teachers and administrators to really monitor the use of those mobile devices.  I think that it would take much discipline and trust.

      Not being restricted to a class time is an awesome feature.  I am one of those people that's brain works best between midnight and 4am (it being 1:18am right now).  Being able to have my class time during this time works a lot better for me.

      Not being tied to the physical classroom can be a great feature for students, but only if used correctly. Students have to be dedicated and follow through in watching and understanding the material presented to them. Teachers have to realize as well that cheating could be that much easier for students who aren't being proctored by a teacher that they would be in the regular classroom. Teachers must create the proper evaluation tools to make sure the flipped classroom is working properly.

      Not being in the physical classroom in this cause is a benefit, but could have draw backs socially for the students. Students need to be willing to work on their own for portion of the day and be focused enough to complete it. Assessment need to in depth.

      If students have the ability to discuss material with friends with their mobile devices I think they could potentially be more motivated to go over material before class the next day.

      Students having no time constraints is a great feature. I for one like to take my time with my work, and I do not like being rushed. This gives the students flexibility and more freedom.

      Not being tied to a classroom encourages students to take on a more life-long learning mindset. It also serves as a communication tool to connect the class and build positive community within the classroom.

      I definitely have noticed that most of the online courses or blended learning courses I have taken were in a "flipped" format. It usually involved students interacting individually with material.
  • ears to me that this model attempts to combine the best that elearning and face-to-face learning have to offer. In
  • today’s world of ubiquitous access to the Internet, mobile devices can play an important role as educators experiment with this new model of lesson delivery. The strength of mobile devices is in it’s ability to offer users flexibility in access to content and in the Flipped Classroom model, mobile devices can provide students with access to both instructional content and to their teacher’s recorded lesson from wherever their are

      Too many times technology is used as "busy work" in order to give the teacher time to work on grading, or filling out paperwork.  Technology should be used to ENHANCE learning, at all times.  This is when both the student and teacher will gain the most.

      Cell phones are mainly frowned upon in school settings, looked at as distractions. With mobile teaching teachers could use a tool students already like and are familiar with to build upon their education.
  • In essence, the Flipped Classroom is a model inspired by, and made possible by, technology
    • Allison Longstreet

      I don't think that a "flipped" classroom would be good possible without technology. Students would not have the means to find content outside of a textbook without a computer or internet access. 
  • It is one where technology helps to facilitate the instruction in order to free up time for student interaction with other students and with their teacher during the limited time they are together in their classroom.

      This is the best part of the whole concept, the fact that more time will be available for students to apply what they are learning and truly gain a better understanding of the material

      The super flexible layout of an online class is much more convenient to an abundance of students, allowing them to adjust their schedules and study time in accordance with their every day activities.  Learning at one's own personalized pace is better than learning at a group pace.

      The only way that this method of instruction will catch on and be successful is if adjustments are consistently made when needed.
