      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
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • 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."

    "...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.
  • Steven Davis on 15 Jan 13
     
    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.

  • Allow time for play. Creating a positive learning environment is just as important as teaching basic skills.
  • Laughter is said to increase white blood cells and neurotransmitters for memory and alertness
  • Find out about your students interests. Getting to know your students on a personal level can help understand their motivation.
  • Allow students time to “get in the flow”.
  • After all is said and done, teaching is a mix of science and art.
  • Creating opportunities for students to take part in greater community events allows them to have a purpose to use their imagination and skills. Studies by Rosenthal and Jacobsen suggest that a positive, stimulating environment, where learning is present, can actually support connections in the brain and enhance memory.
  • Allow time for your own learning.

  • "This is my eleven year-old," he said, "who, on one machine, is playing Minecraft and, on the other machine, is watching videos on how to play Minecraft." This is how our students are learning. They are teaching each other and they are learning from the Web.
  • Casap pulled his own phone from his pocket. "What you have in your hand is going to be their Commodore 64. It's going to be their Apple IIe. When they're in their twenties, it's going to be the thing they buy at a thrift store and put on a shelf in their hipster apartment just because it's cool to have one." That's the generation, he said, that's coming into our schools, and we need to be ready for that.

13 Predictions (+1 More) for Mobile and Mobile Learning in 2013: Float Mobile Learning - 0 views

shared by Will Bohmann on 17 Jan 13 - No Cached
  • The year 2013 will see more companies embrace mobile applications, a wider uptake in mobile learning among the general public, and shifts in what kinds of content and how that content will be delivered to mobile devices
  • Quantified self becomes “mainstream,” according to Chad. Nike FuelBand, Jawbone Up and Fitbit Ultra are all out and widely available. They haven’t, however, made into the mainstream consciousness. These cool life trackers are still very much an early-adopter tech-geek toy or novelty. One of these devices will emerge in 2013 as a real winner here. It may be a combination of pricing, integration with devices or software, or perhaps just a really slick marketing campaign, but one of these devices or a new one will become a “must have” accessory for fitness-minded individuals. Some opportunities for partnerships with health care payers or maybe weight loss programs could also help propel this type of personal gamification into the everyday space.

    This article was of interest because most predictions are conjecture - the mobile market is growing no doubt, but how and what consumers are going to do with these devices is of real interest. As the mobile market grows, the personal computer market is shrinking

    I feel that these 5 videos directly and indirectly touch upon some of the key themes of trans-formative mobile learning. I especially liked Sugatra Mitra's comment that "it's not about making learning happen, it's about letting it happen" through educational self-organizing. Mobile learning is an arena where teachers have to play the role of facilitator and simply "set a process in motion" and let learning unfold with the use of new tech tools that produce unpredictable outcomes. When learning happens on-the-go, the dividing line between education and everyday life becomes blurred and frequently dissolves away to spark relevant learning.

shared by Frank Barnes on 02 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • The most important reason for the low uptake of mobile learning, until now, has been the lack of understanding of mobile devices and mobile learning.
  • Today’s mobile devices move beyond merely providing access but to actively helping and supporting us at work and at home. It has also empowered and enabled us to do things that we may never have had the confidence to do in the past. If we stay within the comfort of the “learning box”, we will never fully recognise or realise the true value and potential of adopting “mobile” solutions.

  • Todd Richmond, director of advanced prototype development and transition at the University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative Technologies, said his gut feeling is that what a user gets out of mobile learning depends on the user. “If you have a user that is comfortable with a tablet or a smartphone, they will be more willing to put up with issues and engage with the content,” he said
  • Jan Cannon-Bowers, research director of University of South Florida’s Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation, said the convenience of mobile learning makes it useful for refresher training in rare procedures. For example, she’s working with the military on an app for refresher training for corpsmen.
  • “We do this all the time. It was the same thing with PC-based training and distance learning,” she said. “It was dominated by very, very smart people who are engineers and software designers. They see possibilities — and there are possibilities — but we don’t apply them smartly

shared by Patricia Palumbo on 18 Sep 13 - No Cached
  • Amazing new tools, materials, and skills turn us all into makers. Using technology to make, repair, or customize the things we need brings engineering, design, and computer science to the masses. Hundreds of thousands of adults and children are frequenting Maker Faires, hackerspaces, and DIY (Do-It-Yourself) websites. A growing library of literature inspires learners of all ages and experiences to seize control of their world.
  • Patricia Palumbo on 18 Sep 13
     
    This is a 360 degree viewpoint of The Maker Movement inspiring a reemergence and metamorphosis of art and STEM in the classroom. The focus of learning can be on inventiveness and creativity rather than being so heavily on standardized testing that is devoid of engagement. Mobile learning is a part of this movement. This is of high interest to me because I think it will give our culture a positive new energy that will uplift our economy and increase production. This will be production not focused on consumerism but production grounded in meaning. The future needs people that can create solutions to world problems.

    I would post this news article on a must-read list for transforming learning with mobile devices because it is not only a real-life example, it is a success story of young students learning and teaching with mobile devices. When I read it, I felt inspired by their creativity and ability to share their learning with over 400 people. I think many teachers would love to see their students producing material not only for the classroom, but available to anyone in the world.

    This whole week I'v tried to find an article I thought would best show the transformation of learning through mobile tools, but I kept going back to the idea that it's not about the technology it's about learning. As I pondered with the idea of how to do we help people understand this concept, and I keep thinking that it needs to be a change in pedagogy. I came across this diagram that would help support this idea of learning and what 21st century pedagogy looks like. Although it is kind of broad, I can easily see where mobile technology fits in and how it could support the transformation of learning. I feel like we need to have this kind of vision in order to understand how the technologies will transform the learning.

    An exploration of learning using mobile devices would not be complete without reading the most current Horizon Report.  One of my very favorite pull out concepts from the report is something tech integrators say over and over - "Digital literacy is less about tools and more about thinking". The Horizon Reports lays out a good case for mobile tools and personalized learning. A must read.
