While viewing this vodcast on mobile learning my mind wonder a little and began to think how “it’s not true that technology is used that much” so I thought a little harder and realised that I really do use technology ALL the time! When I’m not on the lap top my sister is, just today I received a picture on my phone of my boss’s baby born last week, I’m constantly email people from uni about assignments or group meetings, in my last job i used a PDA to send the information from different stores to the head office.

We really are totally immersed in technology so it makes sense to use it for educational purposes. Some of the points that the clip raised included increased concentration, self paced learning, children who work fast can do extra work on mobile technologies or ones who are struggling can do extra practice. Students are more likely to repeat work to get 100% on the mobile devices as opposed to paper work. Privacy in learning, students can learn about topics that often hard to learn about in a face to face situation, such as personal development.
