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.

"...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.

"Generation C will push education to new levels as its learners focus on the how and why of learning and not necessarily the who and what."
