    "Regardless of your school's cell phone policy, the reality in most schools is that students have phones in their pockets, purses, or hoodies. Why not get these tools out in plain sight and use them for good and not evil?"

  • Mobile is no longer a communications utility, but a media distribution hub.
  • The biggest beneficiaries have been mobile apps. Time spent on apps dwarfs time spent on the mobile Web, and smartphone owners now spend 127 minutes per day in mobile apps.

    Hard to believe the average mobile device accounts for nearly 2 hours of user time in mobile apps. Time to think about what these apps are doing for (to) us.

  • 3.  REACHING STUDENTS. In Ramsey Musallam’s A.P. Chemistry class at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory in San Francisco, cell phones are a natural extension of the way he communicates with his students. As soon as kids walk in, Musallam sends out a text blast through Remind101, asking them a challenge question that’s related to the day’s lesson. “First person to tell me the units on K for a second order reaction gets chocolate,” he types and sends off. His students know he does this regularly, so they’re constantly anticipating the question during the day, in and out of class.

  • A recent survey explored the strategies used by postsecondary students to gather information using Internet-capable cell phones, or smartphones. Notably, users of iPhone and Android devices are beginning to use new search input tools, such as spoken keywords, geographic location, camera images, and barcode or quick-response code scans. Most of the student respondents who conducted information searches on these devices understood the need to evaluate the reliability of what they found. Even though students claim they can read on their smartphones without being distracted, the evidence shows that disruptions did occur in homework sessions and during class time.
  • Dena Marger on 15 Jan 13
     
    Published in March of 2011, this article reports on the results of a survey conducted of students at the University of Scranton on the strategies used by postsecondary students to gather information using Internet-capable cell phones, or smartphones. The article concluded: Information literacy instructors should become familiar with new search methods (such as quick response codes) to help students use them effectively and efficiently. Students should be encouraged to review a range of search results, particularly when searching for academic information. Information literacy instructors should help students understand how to evaluate information, especially when it is presented in a nontraditional form, such as a native app. Students may need assistance from educators in applying information literacy skills they have learned while searching on a laptop or desktop to the mobile environment.

      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.

  • In this grand progression, 2013 will certainly be a significant milestone for mobile devices, smartphones and beyond. It's likely to be the first year in which tablets out-ship notebooks in the US. And in the coming years, this will lead to a confluence of high-end tablets and ultra-mobile notebooks as the world figures out how these devices co-exist, blend, hybridize, and/or merge.

  • Here are some of the most exciting findings from the study: "An unexpected number of middle school students (from all ethnicities and incomes) say they are using mobile devices including smartphones and tablets to do their homework. Previous TRU research indicated that middle school students are using smartphones and tablets for communication and entertainment. However, this is the first TRU research that shows that middle school students are also using these mobile devices to complete homework assignments.
  • More than one out of three middle school students report they are using smartphones (39%) and tablets (31%) to do homework. More than 1 in 4 students ( 26 %) are using smartphones for their homework, weekly or more.
  • Where 39% of middle school students use smartphones for homework, only 6% report that they can use the smartphone in classroom for school work. There is also a gap in tablet use. Although 31% of middle school students say they use a tablet for homework, only 18% report using it in the classroom. 66% of students are not allowed to use a tablet for learning purposes in the classroom, and 88% are not allowed to use a phone. Students say using mobile devices like tablets makes them want to learn more.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Despite the high numbers of middle school students using laptops, smartphones and tablets for homework, very few are using these mobile devices in the classroom, particularly tablets and smartphones. A large gap exists between mobile technology use at home and in school.
  • Teacher education and training on the effective integration of mobile technologies into instruction may provide significant benefits for all. Mobile device usage in class appears to have the potential to sustain, if not increase interest in STEM subjects as students progress into high school.

    I found David's Characteristics of Communication over FM Radio vs. Mobile Phones Table to be very enlightening. He really managed to distill the powerful differences between broadcasting information and collaboratively creating information. It clearly shines a light on the limitations of traditional, lecture-based learning and the flexibility of mobile 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.
  • "Learning doesn't happen Monday through Friday, from this time to that time," he said. "This generation of kids are growing up consistently learning all the time."
