Day 1 – mobile learning, filling the gap
- What, when, where and how are you doing m-learning now?
I have very long days and so I use my mobile phone to access sites (including our blog page, when possible) to use time in between classes and rehearsals to keep up with work involved in all areas.
Right now I am using my mobile to access our blog site. Read comments, type responses (in my note pad to upload later), browse related sites for information, and take notes.
I also download videos and files that I can browse, and read up on twitter and facebook groups that I follow.
Without my mobile and m-learning capabilities I would be lost and up a creek without a paddle! It’s the only reason I got a smartphone!

Wow – it seems like you are very mobile and use your device to the best of its advantages – good for you. I have not quite got the hang of it yet – m learning is still a very young concept to me.

Thanks for your post
It seems you rely heavily on your mobile for its convenience factor – you always have it with you, and it helps you take advantage of tiny pieces of time to do bite-sized tasks (reading short blog posts and commenting, videos, twitter, social networking).
How do you think you might take advantage of your mobile’s affordances to create a different kind of learning… where you collect authentic experiences in the world and share them with others and collaborate on interpreting, analyzing and evaluating? How might that be integrated into a learning venture?
