  • While BYOD is far too radical for many school districts at this time, it is inevitable that this is the future.  The sooner districts embrace this future and begin to plan for it, the more effective this transition will be.

    This article argues that BYOD environments in schools are inevitable, and ridicules school policies of banning student devices. Good resource for educators considering, or struggling with, the idea of BYOD in their classrooms or schools. SIG 1 Context: BYOD

    This is an interesting article about innovative and future technology which will provide teachers with interactive study guides and pop quizzes while on field trips. The potential is for reduced behavior problems. A potential problem is the cost of 3G iPads which are necessary for technology. A solution may exist with the collaboration of Square Crumbs and JoliCloud. This is a good example of collaboration between companies which will benefit education. This will be something to watch for in the future. SIG 1Context: Collaboration, mobility, field trips, student engagement

  • 5. Facebook is a country. With over 500 million users as of July 2010, Facebook, were it a country, would be the 4th largest in the world. If you are an English-speaking American who has lived most of your life in one small town, how would you like to be dropped off on a street corner in China to find your way? You might want to learn the language and know a few of the local customs before you set out to do much of anything.

    There is a shift in how people get jobs, how companies advertise, how new ventures present themselves, how corporations gain business, how students learn, how everything works. More ways why students need 21st-century skills:

  • According to an IBM poll of 1,500 CEOs, creativity was identified "as the number one competitive edge" of the future, meaning the "soft skills" of the right brain need to be nurtured more than ever.

  • Clark Quinn, professor, author, and expert in computer-based education, defined mobile learning as the intersection of mobile computing (the application of small, portable, and wireless computing and comm
  • unication devices) and e-learning (learning facilitated and supported through the use of information and communic
  • ations technology).
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Instructional Uses. With the iPod, students can download podcasts of relevant instructional material along with audio and video lectures. Although the early devices have rather small screens, future versions probably will have bigger screens so that users can read e-books on them.
  • Pros. With 87 percent of the market share, the iPod has already proven its popularity with students.
  • Instructional Uses. Students can use an MP3 player to download and listen to podcasts and audio lectures.
  • E-book readers are used to download text-based materials. They can store hundreds of e-books, newspapers, and magazines. Magnification and highlighting features facilitate easy reading and marking of texts, and full-text search makes it easy to find specific passages.
  • Instructional Uses. Students can use an e-book reader to download and store text-based instructional materials and electronic textbooks; read resources on demand; and conduct research.
  • Benefits: Great for people on the go. Anytime, anywhere access to content. Can enhance interaction between and among students and instructors. Great for just-in-time training or review of content. Can enhance student-centered learning. Can appeal to tech-savvy students because of the media-rich environment. Support differentiation of student learning needs and personalized learning.7 Reduce cultural and communication barriers between faculty and students by using communication channels that students like.8 Facilitate collaboration through synchronous and asynchronous communication.Challenges: May make it easier to cheat. Could give tech-savvy students an advantage over non-technical students. Can create a feeling of isolation or of being out-of-the-loop for non-techies. May require media to be reformatted or offered in multiple formats. Might render some content outdated because of rapid upgrades—here today, outdated tomorrow. Could require additional learning curve for non-technical students and faculty. May be used as a new high-tech package for the same old dull and boring content.
  • capitalize on the flexibility and freedom afforded by these devices.
  • wherever and whenever they need it.
  • Learning will center on the individual learner's environment rather than the classroom. Learning will involve learners making meaningful connections to resources and other people. The ability to instantly publish their observations and reflections as digital media will empower learners to become investigators of their own environments. The ability to easily capture and record life events will assist learners in recall and collaborative reflection. Distributed collaboration and mobile team opportunities will be greatly enhanced.
  • Behaviorism: Quick feedback or reinforcement can be facilitated through mobile devices. Constructivism: Mobile devices 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: Mobile devices provide a handy additional means of communication and a portable means of electronic information gathering and sharing. Informal/lifelong learning: Mobile devices accompany users in their everyday experiences and become a convenient source of information or means of communication that assists with learning. Support/coordination: Mobile devices provide just-in-time access to learning resources, news, information, planners, address books, calculators, and so forth.

    This article provides some great information and raises interesting questions regarding the pedagogical reasoning and rationale for using mobile devices in the classroom.  The article lists various types of mobile devices and lays out their instructional uses, pros, and cons.  In addition, I found the section titled "Benefits and Challenges of Mobile Learning" and "Pedagogical Implications" important for our evaluation considerations in the conclusion of our project.
