    I could see this being used in a Social Studies lesson as well as to keep up with locations in a novel.

  • "It provides the potential to empower and uplift students in their learning,"
  • To maximize effectiveness, education in the 21st century has to be active, engaging, and customized. Students must have universal access to mobile technologies that will enable critical thinking, differentiation, and problem solving. It is our belief that the technology in Apple's iPad meets these needs and more."
  • cell phones in education involve websites like Poll Everywhere and Text the Mob, which allow a teacher to create a set of questions that the students can respond to with a text message.

      Mlearning engages our students in their own learning and investigations. "Our digital natives are counting on us"
  • 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.
  • Studies like these help underline the academic potential that mobile learning devices can have to enrich the learning process for students.

  • My students learn better when they take the active role in finding and choosing texts, asking their own questions, and creating their own projects. In my 9th grade West Civ class, this means students learn directly from primary sources (see the Internet History Sourcebook, the Perseus Project, the Library of Congress's 'Teaching with Primary Sources' project, and the Internet Archive) without the filter of a textbook middleman.
  • As for "keeping on the same page"... One of the most exciting things to have come out of the textbookless experience among my West Civ social studies colleagues has been the way in which each of us have the opportunity to share what we know and what we really care about with one another in the active creation of our own courses of study --

  • The American education system, however, must proceed with great caution that this trend does not lead to a new digital divide and greater inequity among students accessing a good education.
  • South Korea has pledged that all elementary and secondary schools will be completely digital by the year 2015. The ministry of education will ensure that every student has access to a mobile device, a strong connection to the Internet, and a cloud-computing network dedicated to education.
  • School systems around the world are watching Korea, not just for its high-achievement rates, but also to see if it succeeds in being the first country to go entirely digital.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • States are getting in the game, too. Last summer, Florida announced its goal to phase out textbooks in favor of digital learning by the year 2015. And Alabama representatives are planning to introduce the "Alabama Ahead Act" which would allow schools to purchase electronic tablets instead of textbooks
  • In a recently released study, only one out of five teachers believe they have the know-how to teach effectively with technology, despite a 91% rate of digital access.

      This article resonates with me because of the comparisons between South Korea and the USA.  I wonder where American International Schools will fall within the spectrum?
