- There are now more than 4.6 billion mobile phones in the world, according to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)'s February 2010 press release. This means that mobile has taken the place of FM radio as the most ubiquitous communications technology on the planet.The way we think of learning environments is changing. Traditionally, a learning environment has been a physical space, but the idea of what constitutes a learning environment is changing. The “spaces” where students learn are becoming more community-driven, interdisciplinary, and supported by technologies that engage virtual communication and collaboration. This changing concept of the learning environment has clear implications for school The story of mobiles is no longer about the devices themselves, but about the blurring of the boundary between the cellular networks and the Internet. Increasingly, and more so in the developing world, the Internet is accessed from mobile devices using a cellular network that extends significantly beyond even the electric grid. Mobiles represent an untapped resourcefor reaching students and for bridging the gap between the learning that happens in school and the learning that happens out in the world. - http://www.nmc.org/pdf/2010-Horizon-Report-K12.pdf
- Key Advantages of Mobile Learning:1. Encourage “anywhere, anytime” learningMobile devices allow students to gather, access, and process information outside the classroom. They can encourage learning in a real-world context, and help bridge school, afterschool, and home environments.2. Reach underserved childrenBecause of their relatively low cost and accessibility in low-income communities, handheld devices can help advance digital equity, reaching and inspiring populations “at the edges” — children from economically disadvantaged communities and those from developing countries.3. Improve 21st-century social interactionsMobile technologies have the power to promote and foster collaboration and communication, which are deemed essential for 21st-century success.4. Fit with learning environmentsMobile devices can help overcome many of the challenges associated with larger technologies, as they fit more naturally within various learning environments.5. Enable a personalized learning experienceNot all children are alike; instruction should be adaptable to individual and diverse learners. There are significant opportunities for genuinely supporting differentiated, autonomous, andindividualized learning through mobile devices
- Districts facing technology budget cuts have responded primarily by cutting back on equipment and supplies or postponing exploration of new hardware. They aren't likely to tap into reserves or engage in fundraising - with some key exceptions. Eight in 10 school leaders whose districts have experienced declining technology budgets (80 percent) cut back on equipment and supplies. More than six in 10 (63 percent) say budget cuts have made them less likely to explore laptop programs - a marker, we believe, for disinvestment in innovative technologies under budget strains. Students are different, but educational practice and the materials that support it are changing only slowly. Schools are still using materials developed to teach the students of decades ago, but today’s students are actually very different in the way they think and work. Schools need to adapt to current student needs and identify new learning models that are engaging to younger generations. Many education professionals feel that a shift to a more learner-centered model focused on the development of individual potential instead of the imposition of a body of knowledge would lead to deeper and more sustained learning across the curriculum. To support such a change, both teaching practice and the tools used in the classroom must adapt.Assessment has also not kept pace with new modes of working, and must change along with teaching methods, tools, and materials. - http://www.nmc.org/pdf/2010-Horizon-Report-K12.pdfThe second adoption horizon is set two to three years out, where we will begin to see widespread adoptions of two well-established technologies: game-based learning and mobiles. Both games and mobiles have clearly entered the mainstream of popular culture; both have been demonstrated as effective tools for learning in a number of schools already; and both are expected to see much broader use in pre-college education over the next two to three years. Mobiles make a repeat appearance this year. While the Advisory Board acknowledges their great potential for learning, the reality is that the use of mobiles continues to be restricted by policies that prevent many schools from taking advantage of them as tools for teaching and learning.
- “A key challenge is the fundamental structure of the K-12 education establishment. As long as maintaining the basic elements of the existing system remains the focus of efforts to support education, there will be resistance to any profound change in practice. Learners have increasing opportunities to take their education into their own hands, and options like informal education, online education, and home-based learning are attracting students away from traditional educational settings. If the system is to remain relevant it must adapt, but major change comes hard in education…” - [1] 2010 Horizon Report: K-12 Edition, The New Media ConsortiumA number of critical challenges must be addressed to unleash the educational potential of mobile technologies. Five key challenges outlined in the report include:1. Negative aspects of mobile learningCognitive, social, and physical challenges must be surmounted when mobile devices are incorporated into children’s learning. Disadvantages include: the potential for distraction or unethical behavior; physical health concerns; and data privacy issues.2. Cultural norms and attitudesThough many experts believe that mobile devices have significant potential to transform children’s learning, parents and teachers apparently are not yet convinced. A 2008 study done by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center in collaboration withCommon Sense Media found that most teachers see cell phones as distractions and feel that they have no place in school.3. No mobile theory of learning Currently, no widely accepted learning theory for mobile technologies has been established, hampering the effective assessment, pedagogy, and design of new applications for learning.4. Differentiated access and technologyWide diversity among mobile technologies represents a challenge for teachers and learners who wish to accelerate academic outcomes as well as the producers who seek to facilitate such learning.5. Limiting physical attributesPoorly designed mobile technologies adversely affect usability and can distract children from learning goals. Physical aspects of mobile technologies that may prevent an optimal learning experience include: restricted text entry, small screen size, and limited battery lifehttp://www.joanganzcooneycenter.org/upload_kits/pockets_of_potential_execsum_1_.pdf
- The Mobile Impact – increase in mobile devices + increase in support expectations + increased support costs + frozen or reduced budgets + reduced staff = HUGE PROBLEMWork on this.
- Drawing comparison between enterprise costs and projected educational costs.
- • Build capacity: Digital teacher corps – Teachers cannot teach what they do not know, and most have not been trained to use new technologies in their classrooms or afterschool settings. It is not just a matter of showing teachers how to use the devices; rather, it is crucial to provide them with methodologies for ways in which they can incorporate technologies within their curriculum. Professional development is essential to the future of mobile learning. http://www.joanganzcooneycenter.org/upload_kits/pockets_of_potential_execsum_1_.pdf
- Because mobile devices are essentially always ‘on’ user expectations for quality of service increase. Poor service becomes a measureable bottleneck to learning. Unlike the ease of simply using pen and paper (essentially unbreakable), a broken mobile device brings learning to a standstill
- Align best practices to problem areas.Recap of problem areas:Industry-specific – education budgets are tight and innovative projects meet cultural resistanceMobile-specific – mobile deployment means higher costs, more tickets, increased staff demand and higher user expectations
- % parents who would buy for a student if they had learning initiativesBetter learning now = better learning later. Allows for engagement with next classProblem area to address: Industry-specific – education budgets are tight and innovative projects meet cultural resistance
- Problem area to address: Industry-specific – education budgets are tight and innovative projects meet cultural resistance
- Design educational innovations to capitalize on unique affordances of mobile – It is entirely ineffective to take educational applications that have been developed for a big screen and simply shrink them down to be used on mobile devices. Developers need to discern what is special about mobile devices and design interventions that take advantage of those attributes. • Counter the disadvantages and limiting physical attributes of mobile devices – Mobile technologies have numerous disadvantages (e.g., can be distracting) and limiting physical attributes (e.g., difi cult text entry) that — if not taken into consideration — might detract from the learning experience. • Avoid constant defaults to the latest technology – In order to develop scalable models, it is important to emphasize features that will become ubiquitous. Relying on features that are more common on less-expensive phones will help ensure that mobile technologies can help close rather than amplify the digital divide.
