Podríamos definir el Mobile learning como una nueva forma de educación creada a partir de la conjunción entre el e-learning y la utilización de los smart devices/ dispositivos móviles inteligentes (pda`s, smartphones, Ipods, pocket PCs, teléfonos móviles 3G, consolas, …), y que se fundamenta en la posibilidad que nos ofrecen estos nuevos dispositivos, de combinar la movilidad geográfica con la virtual, lo cual permite el aprender dentro de un contexto, en el momento en que se necesita y explorando y solicitando la información precisa que se necesita saber. Nos encontramos cada día más inmersos en una sociedad basada en la información y el conocimiento. Un conocimiento que se deriva de la interpretación y la contextualización de dicha información, a la que accedemos gracias a un uso más fácil e intensivo de las nuevas Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) de las que actualmente disponemos. A medida que ha ido en aumento el número de usuarios se ha pasado de un concepto eminentemente instrumental, basado en su vertiente tecnológica, tanto en dispositivos como en las diferentes modalidades de acceso, a una interpretación cada vez más centrada en el usuario y en los servicios que éste consume y genera. Se trata de la llamada sociedad de la información, consolidada definitivamente con la globalización derivada del fenómeno Internet.

Geesh Richard, another great resource; like your posts are not enough. Many, many thanks. I have followed your blog for about a year and have learned SO MUCH. I understand you are from CT. Any chance we can get you to the joint annual CASL/CECA (Connecticut Association of School Librarians and Connecticut Educators Computer Association) conference next year?

Can you send me an email? richardbyrne (at) freetech4teachers Thanks. October 25, 2009 6:47 AM Linux and Friends said... Thanks for the amazing document. I am aware of a few of the resources listed in the document. However, many of the others are new to me. I will definitely check them out. November 2, 2009 9:45 PM dunnes said... I visited and bookmarked four sites from this post! Thank you for the great resource. Students want to use Google rather than stick to the school library catalog, but they need more instruction on how to do this. I have seen too many children search with ineffective terms, and then waste time clicking on their random results. November 8, 2009 12:38 PM Lois said... Beyond Google is a great resource. I wish I had your skills for taking what you learn and putting it together as you do. I love reading your daily blog.

7 points of information literacy: * IL as context specific and context sensitive; * IL demanding a variety of behaviours: not just searching, but also encountering, browsing, monitoring, managing and creating; * People moving along complex paths to meet their information needs: moving between the virtual and physical worlds, and using different sources and spaces; * IL in digital environments; * IL with people sources; * People being information literate individually and collaboratively * People being aware they are information literate: you cannot be an information literate 21st Century citizen without being conscious of the need to develop these IL skills and attitudes, and continue to update your IL through your life! Excellent article.

A list of those who do this for free. These authors are willing to participate in 20-minute Skype visits free of charge. (Many also offer more in-depth virtual visits for a fee.)

This is a virtual place for folks interested in learning to "operationalize TPACK" (Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge) via curriculum-based learning activity types ('ATs') to get up-to-date information, and (more importantly) participate in the vetting and refining of the activity types in each of the curriculum areas in which activity type development is happening

This is the best travel blog tool I've seen! It could be used very well in a Tourism class for a 'virtual' tour of a place...besides its obvious use!

Arranged visiits and virtual visits of authors and artists to schools and libraries

·   We are living in an Age of Misinformation - not the information age. - Students need to learn how to access information as well as synthesize it to draw conclusions.  This is college and career readiness.  Not, finding information on Google or mere vetted websites and jotting those notes into a pro-forma document or virtual index cards.  

Deciding between two similar items for your next purchase? Easily compare them by putting vs between two search terms. For instance, "f16 vs f/a-18". Ask Google to "Flip a coin" and watch as a virtual coin appears in your search results and gets flipped!
