Observations- low engagement of students getting vocab. worksheet out at the beginning of class, without prompting
= 3-5 minutes to get started by 20-30% of students on a given day
- 15-25% of students need extra prompting to stay on task throughout 15 minute vocabulary work time
- low completion and turn in rate of vocab. worksheet
= 60% mean score and turn in rate on previous worksheets
- average assessment scores from vocab = 70%

ObjectivesThe objectives of this project are threefold:
1) to increase student engagement and interactivity in the learning process
= 90-100% of the time
2) to increase students’ retention of vocabulary terms and ability to use and recognize the terms in authentic experiences
= increase assessment average scores by 10%
3) to blend mobile learning and constructivist pedagogy into a traditional, formal learning environment

Literature Review
Mobile Technology & Vocabulary Instruction
• Limited Studies (e.g., used as electronic flashcards or communication tool)
• Findings difficult to generalize to other instructional methods (e.g., small sample sizes, difficulties conceptualizing learning, specific focus of studies)

Learning Theories
Dual Coding Theory (Allan Paivio): Recall of newly learned material is enhanced when it is tied to verbal associations and visual imagery (verbal and non-verbal channels)
Social Constructivist Theory: Focuses on an individual's learning as a result of their interactions within a group
Schema Theory: Promotes idea of linking newly acquired information with prior knowledge to promote better long-term recall.

Pedagogy Best Practices for Vocabulary Instruction:
Combining Teacher's vocabulary worksheet with student created videos
• Provides collaborative learning opportunities
• Provides multiple interactions with new words
• Increases student interaction with new words in different contexts (e.g., written, spoken, visual representations)
