  • Mobile learning technologies offer teachers-and students-a more flexible approach to learning.
  • More and more schools are moving toward mobile learning in the classroom as a way to take advantage of a new wave of electronic devices that offer portability and ease of use on a budget.
  • Today's students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach
  • They are more engaged in learning when using the latest technological gadgets, because it is what they are most used to interacting with. Our students don't just want mobile learning, they need it.
  • The study found that after children had used the app every every day for two weeks, the vocabulary of Title 1 children between three and seven years old improved by as much as 31 percent.

    The challenge of providing aid in organization for some students with special needs can be ameliorated with just a few available tools.  Google voice could be used to record up to 3 minutes of oral instructions given by the teacher that can be replied when needed.  The possibility of sending assignment or test oral or printed reminders that can be listened to a whole group of students has great potential.
