Mobiles For Teaching And Learning: Translating Theory into Practice - 1 views

  •  
    "...benefits of m-learning, as described in the literature, were the convenience and immediacy of learning that the technology enables; and the motivation that comes from being empowered to take learning into one's own hands." This article talks about implementing m-learning from a pedagogical perspective. For me it's about changing our teaching methodologies, so we focus on learning. I liked that it discussed different types of learning: micro-learning, multi-media learning, and the measurement of learning, and how these support m-learning.

    Micro-learning is a great methodology for quick learning experiences, but I fear that too many digital natives crave micro-learning over in-depth, extensive, traditional learning and research. Micro-learning is immediately gratifying and "painless" when it comes to time investment and conveniently fits with mobile, on-the-go learning. I believe a healthy balance between the two drastically different learning models is important for students.

Mobile Teaching Versus Mobile Learning (EDUCAUSE Quarterly) | EDUCAUSE.edu - 5 views

      The one doing the work is the one doing the learning. Simply consuming information is not enough "work" to satisfy the notion of rigorous learning.
  • I'd argue that content delivery isn't even half the picture of teaching and learning.
  • Individuals have had access to "portable learning devices" since the advent of the printing press; we call them books

  • To achieve the promise of mobile learning, we have to stop thinking about these powerful mobile multimedia devices as only consumption devices and get students using them as production devices.

      Addressing more than one of the senses, coupled with response output (the "work" component of learning) makes for a more robust learning experience.
  • Brain researchers have been telling educators for quite a while that engaging multiple senses helps students better learn material. Therefore, the excitement here is not so much about the portability or mobility of these teaching devices; instead, it is that these devices can both convey teaching material in more than two media (text and images) and be portable.

      The 3-D Brain app is one of the first apps I loaded onto my first smartphone and all subsequent devices. It appealed to me at the time (and still does) as moving to a higher level of information accessibility and interaction.
  • it is not enough to just give students PDFs of pages from an anatomy textbook. It's not even enough to allow them to take self-grading quizzes. We need to provide materials or applications that allow students to practice identifying parts of the body on their mobile multimedia devices before taking the high-stakes midterm or final exam.
  • It's one thing to learn about different architectural styles in a Western Civ or Construction textbook or lecture; it's another to apply what you've learned by going out into the community and taking pictures of buildings and then identifying the architectural influences. It's one thing to hear or read about the results of sociology studies about gender bias; it's another to go out, collect primary data, and immediately show, as well as discuss, the dynamically growing study results with the recently queried participant. In both cases the activity of capturing "raw" digital material can lead to further learning or assessment activities where students might develop multimedia projects.
  • access is not an excuse. Just as instructors will need to be creative in developing and assessing these mobile learning activities, instructors and institutions will need to help students be creative in finding access to different mobile multimedia production devices.
  • One of the easiest ways for individual instructors to address the access and support issues is to have students work in groups, share access to resources, and help one another figure out how to do it all. Bonus point: Employers want students who know how to work in groups. Getting students engaged in mobile learning projects might not only better facilitate learning, it might also have them learning about various 21st century literacies like group work, composing in multiple environments, and information literacy.
  • "What makes electronic books a potentially transformative technology is the new kinds of reading experiences that they make possible."

  • At minimum we could be asking our students to capture raw material from the real world and engage with it based on the concepts we are teaching them.

    I do think of my phone as more of an output device than the tablet or pc. Now It is becoming a bit more of an "input also" device!

Creating Device Neutral Assignments for BYOD Classes - 0 views

  •  
    This article is interesting to me because I believe that access to information cannot be device-specific. Making information or communication reliant on a specific format limits the ability to interact on a truly global platform. Imagine the missed opportunities and conversations that would ensue if iPad owners were able to communicate with only people who have Apple devices. The same holds true for Google and Android, Microsoft, or any other current or emerging platform or system. As I've mentioned in other posts, and will most likely mention again: it's not about the device.
