Week 7: Mobile Learning

As a group, we considered uses of mobile technology in our school or workplace.

We wrote our views in the COMMENTS section and made a Wordle to represent with an image which topics we wrote about most.

Please see this post's COMMENTS for our views.

From Tony:
Hi guys,
Here's a great video that shows just how much impact the mobile web is having on business. Imagine what it'll do for education! Cheers Tony




From Diana:
Hi guys,
Here's another interesting video (click here: MOBILE LEARNING IN A PRIMARY CLASSROOM) - about how students in a primary school in the UK are learning using mobile technology. The video focuses on how children often learn "instinctively" how to use mobile technology, and recommends that teachers be open to learning from their students as well. It also gives a "fly on the wall" view of the affordances of mobile technology in a primary classroom, such as making it easier to cater to individual differences.

Week 6: J2E Mash Up

We experimented briefly with J2E during this week's session. We had some connectivity problems and could not figure out how to upload a picture. It looked like it was expected that we would upload an image from an internal collection. An advantage of J2E seems to be that you can put together different kinds of files to create a mash-up website.
