Why think about mobile learning now?
Nonetheless...while there are abundant examples of personal andprofessional uses for mobiles, educational contentdelivery via mobile devices is still in the early stages.The expectation is that advances in technology overthe next twelve to eighteen months will remove thelast barriers to access and bring mobiles truly intothe mainstream for education.
Next 12 months - YOU!
Next 12 - 18 months - YOUR STUDENTS!
Becta: increased engagement, learner autonomy, more opportunityfor collaborative/distributed learning and experiential/situated learning
Revised Harnessing Technology Strategy, 2008
CONSIDER....
