We talked about how it affects your immediate team, your external stakeholders and how it improves the long-term success of your mobile learning efforts.

With those points in mind, you’re probably ready to get your efforts underway in creating a strategy. Hold on there, partner. Before venturing in this direction it’s vital to get a good understanding of what components comprise a great mobile learning strategy, what you need to avoid, the basics on what it takes to get started and what resources are out there to help you on all of this. What’s in a Strategy? In essence, a strategy is a comprehensive high-level view of your mobile learning roadmap and technology landscape.

Basics Until Next Time. Mobile learning for schools - a class without walls | Resource. Part of the old steelworks still stands near Parkwood academy, Sheffield. It's a reminder of the old factories and the newer industrial units that provide rich opportunities for year 7 students to study how the demise of manufacturing has affected their city. In a project entitled My Surroundings, students went out into their community, taking photographs, shooting films in their locality and making maps, using handheld and other mobile technologies. It helped them to consider why, many years ago, Sheffield was built where it was. "Pupils looked at the positive and negative aspects of the steel industry and how things have changed since [the factories] closed," says Derryth Hope, Parkwood's vice-principal.

The project comprised history and geography and led pupils to develop written and spoken language skills as they worked on presentations.

By Cherrye Moore It is a common-known fact that teaching is a labor of love for most educators.

Every day around the world, thousands of research studies are produced on every conceivable subject. So, when I checked out the Bielefeld Academic Search Engine (BASE) recently, that there were over 1,700 research items listed for mobile learning or ubiquitous learning. (BASE is free to use, and many of the articles listed are “open” and accessible.

For most of the others, there is usually an abstract describing the results of the study – thanks to Stephen Downes, www.downes.ca, for blogging about this resource). Much of this academic research does not inform current practice in mobile learning in enterprise settings. One reason that there is little crossover between empirical research and corporate training is that academic studies are often difficult to read, are based on complex theories, or, contain lots of statistics and other forms of mathematics that are unfamiliar to the average training manager.

Mobile Apps That Reward Impoverished Students With Food, Medicine. It's a choice that no one should have to make: ditch school so that you can make a little money for your family, or go to school in the hopes that one day you will be able to climb out of poverty (but in the meantime, live without food). MPowering wants to eliminate those choices and make education more immediately gratifying, with a little help from mobile technology. The organization, founded by veterans of Salesforce.com and Apple, is partnering with nonprofits in the developing world to provide food, medicine, and more to people in places like Orissa, India (the poorest state in the country, but one that has high cell phone penetration) who perform positive actions like going to school or taking advantage of prenatal care.

Here's how it works: mPowering finds places where people are living on less than $2 per day, partners with local nonprofits, and develops mobile apps that help residents move out of poverty.
