"As a mobile learning device, the iPod Touch encourages learning anytime, anywhere! These mobile devices do not tie students to their desks or the classroom; they bring the world into the classroom through the lens of personalized learning.
The value of an iPod Touch as a mobile learning device is its ability to transform student learning behavior. According to research by K-Nect Project (2009), students using this digital device achieved higher test scores. This was attributed to more interactivity between students, teachers, and content."
Well, I think it´s important to set goals in the beginning of the semester. And follow the elements of a good classroom, discussed on the first day, every class until the students get into your class routine. It makes them feel safe and the teacher also provide the students a moment, at the end of each class, to reflect about their learning and behavior during the class working with positive aspects and showing them that there is always a way to improve.
