In: 1st International Conference of ICT in Education: Opportunities, Challenges and Practical Solutions for the Integration of ICT in Education, 8 - 11 February 2012, Marrakech, Morocco. Full text available as: Mobile technologies have been influencing the field of education including language learning for almost a decade. The literature on mobile technologies for education reports a number of case studies that examine various aspects of mobile learning. However, the use of mobile technologies for teacher professional development, particularly in developing economies, is rarely reported. In this talk, I will show examples of how EIA as a large-scale language development project has successfully employed mobile technologies to promote more communicative language teaching practices in primary and secondary schools in Bangladesh, taking into account the socio-cultural context of the country.

We have to recognise that attempts at identifying and dening mobile learning grow out of difference, out of attempts by emergentcommunities to separate themselves from someolder and more established communities andmove on from perceived inadequate practices. Interestingly, at the rst mLearn conference inthe spring of 2002, a key-note speaker predicted that mobile learning would have a separate identity for perhaps ve years before blending into general e-learning.

And denition rather than lose them.Irrespective of the exact denition, mobile ment of ‘mobile learning’ as a distinctive butill-dened entity (see for example the reviews by Cobcroft 2006, and Naismith et al EAsy dEfInItIons Early approaches at dening mobile learning devices” (Traxler, 2005), or on the mobility et al. Global mobile statistics 2012 Home: all the latest stats on mobile Web, apps, marketing, advertising, subscribers and trends... The mobiThinking compendium of mobile statistics and research The stats, all the stats and nothing but the stats… In the past three years, we have gone from a smattering of mobile statistics to an abundance of useful information. But there's still a long way to go, there are still huge gaps in our knowledge, some countries enjoy a proliferation of data sources, while others have little or none; and the quality of statistics varies incredibly.

As telecoms regulators and industry associations start to collect and share meaningful data, things will only get better. An unfortunate side effect of the media’s recent surge of enthusiasm for mobile in the past year is a tendency to highlight data of dubious quality (often when better is available), and/or widespread misunderstanding, misreporting and failure to qualify figures they have cherry-picked. This isn't just misleading and confusing, it's damaging. Finding your way around the mobile stats compendium: Section B: Mobile Web; 3G Don’t miss: IEEE Xplore - Adoption Factors of Mobile Services.

18Carlsson.pdf (application/pdf Object) Online Design Checklist. 10 Ways That Mobile Learning Will Revolutionize Education. Smartphones and tablet computers are radically transforming how we access our shared knowledge sources by keeping us constantly connected to near-infinite volumes of raw data and information. We enjoy unprecedented instant access to expertise, from informal cooking lessons on YouTube to online university courses. Every day people around the globe are absorbed in exciting new forms of learning, and yet traditional schools and university systems are still struggling to leverage the many opportunities for innovation in this area. Recently frog has been researching how learning models are evolving—and how they can be improved—via the influence of mobile technologies.

We’ve found that the education industry needs new models and fresh frameworks to avoid losing touch with the radically evolving needs of its many current and potential new constituencies. We have been focusing on the concept of mLearning—where "m" usually stands for "mobile" but also just as easily for "me. " 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Mobile Devices: Facing Challenges and Opportunities for Learning. Page 3 of 1 Mobile Devices: Facing Challenges and Opportunities for Learning According to Will Richardson (2008) "Our students must be nomadic, flexible, mobile learners who depend not so much on what they can recall as on their ability to connect with people and resources and edit content on their desktops, or even more likely, on pocket-size devices they carry around with them" (p. 18).

As I agree with that assessment, it became disturbing to read House Bill 363, introduced to the General Assembly of Pennsylvania on February 11, 2009, to ban students' possession of "telephone paging devices, commonly referred to as beepers, cellular telephones and portable electronic devices that record or play audio or video material" on "school grounds, at school sponsored activities and on buses or other vehicles provided by the school district. " It's easy to find teacher reactions to the bill. I'd join the ranks of those opposing it. Learners are benefiting from accessing media on their iPods.

September « 2010 « Mobile Learning. From next year, the University of Adelaide’s Faculty of Science will be moving towards mobile delivery, with all first-year students provided with iPads, and textbooks replaced by digital materials. They will be the first Australian University to begin delivering in this way, and this is the first step towards an overhaul of their teaching strategies, including moving to fully online delivery of first-year Science courses from 2012, according to Professor Bob Hill, Executive Dean of the Faculty.

To help ensure that teaching materials and activities are compatible with the iPads, teaching staff will also be receiving the devices. I have a modicum of skepticism about some aspects of this planned course of action, however. Firstly, the focus on iPads might force thinking around mobile learning into a iPad-shaped box, rather than encouraging the development of mobile learning activities and resources to suit a wider range of devices. Aaargh. Mobile « Mobile Learning. Here’s today’s awesome m-learning find: a website where anyone can create a multiple choice quiz which is compatible with the vast majority of current mobile phones (it runs as a Java application, which most of today’s cellphones support). The site is called Mobile Study, and the finished multiple choice quizzes can be downloaded to a mobile phone from a computer, by visiting a URL with a mobile phone browser, via an SMS message (a small allocation of free messages is provided for each account), or even by using a QR Code (which you should be able to do if you’ve been following my thread on 2D Barcodes!).

If you or your students prefer Social Web applications to mobile ones, it’s also worth noting that quizzes can be made for Facebook, and if a walled garden is your course approach of choice, yes, quizzes can even be imported into Moodle. Happy quizzing! (via Ignatia Webs) Mobile Learning - Workshop Activity: Paper Blogs. I came up with this activity to demonstrate to teachers what (mo)blogs are, how they work, and why they can be such a powerful strategy for empowering and engaging learners. I’ve used it on a number of occasions – first for a Social Web Professional Development Day in July 2006, and most recently, last Friday, at a Professional Development workshop on M-Learning, for the University of Canberra. I’m pleased to see it has also been used by others I’ve taught it to, as a fun and accurate way to explain blogging – and it doesn’t even need a computer!

Objective: To provide a hands-on, interactive explanation of (mo)blogging, and the way that blogs can be used in education as powerful learning tools. Participants: For a group of 6 or more workshop participants. The bigger the group, the better and more fun. Materials: Procedure: Place the Materials (listed above) in the middle of the activity space. Resources « Mobile Learning. I’m going to start making some of my work in mobile learning available from this area of my blog, including published papers on the use of mobile learning; workshops, presentations and activities I’ve created, to promote mobile learning; and a number of games and activities I’ve designed for mobile learning, which can be applied by other teachers to suit a range of educational needs.

As well as an educator, I’m a university-trained/qualified programmer, so I might even start creating educationally-designed programs to run on various mobile platforms – stay tuned. :) Publications on M-Learning Workshops on M-Learning Presentations on M-Learning Don’t Panic Mobile Games/Activities and Lesson Plans for Learning Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?

We will share our experiences of teaching introductory statistics in the 'online' classroom. Keyword(s): on-line access. Five Computer Clouds Are All We Need. Written by Baris Karadogan, a partner at Comventures “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” This is a famous misquote attributed to Thomas J. Watson Sr., then-president of IBM, in an apparent misjudgment of the PC market’s potential. As the story goes, under Watson’s leadership, IBM — which invented the PC — didn’t have a vision as to how big the market could become and let others, especially Microsoft, get the lion’s share of the value creation. But maybe five computers are all we need. First up is Google (GOOG), for consumer apps. Next up is Amazon (AMZN) — not for their ecommerce solutions, but for their web services, which I’ve previously compared to semiconductor fabs. With the consumer apps and infrastructure clouds covered, let’s turn to the enterprise side.

No. 3, therefore, is Salesforce.com (CRM). The fourth slot belongs to the enabler of the enterprise infrastructure via control of servers, storage, etc. There you have it.
