Reflection: Mobile learning naturally lends itself to differentiated instruction and learning. When done right, it can accommodate
errors well, and help learners to learn from mistakes rather than feel defeated by them. Mostly, I think this sort of application
applies to upper grades, and not the early childhood years that I teach to, but with some stretching I can see a little application in
the early years as well.
Mobile learning speaks to current generation of users, that Generation Text mentality. Students are capable of learning and
expanding their knowledge as far as they can go when the world is at their fingertips. If all the students have their own device,
and they use the appropriate apps for learning, then they guide the pace and challenge of the learning on their own.
Differentiation naturally occurs! Students who are ready for higher levels can move on as desired, and those who require lower
levels can also be accommodated. Additionally, with mobile learning, each student is likely to feel a sense of autonomy, which
could help drive intrinsic motivation and engagement. In 21 st Century learning, we have moved beyond the computer lab model
of learning technology, and into the realm of individualized mobile learning, in every location imaginable. Additionally, with
exploring mobile learning, I suggest that one of the strongest benefits is to the flipped classroom. Students with access to mobile
devices can spend time outside of the classroom doing learning, then come to the class ready to engage. Additionally, teachers
can use apps to poll students knowledge and then use that activated prior knowledge and assessment to guide more appropriate
classroom learning. Finally, mobile technology, students are likely going to be able to explore the world from a living room couch.
Meaning, they can travel, they can learn about the world from their fingertips! Its possible to take guided tours of other
locations, thus broadening world views and knowledge. While we still struggle to provide every student with mobile devices, the
trend of the future indicates that the goal of getting technology into the hands of every students is an attainable goal, and with
that, we teachers need to be ready to employ this tool to facilitate greater learning and more opportunities for our students.
