Who would supply the money for this? Parents or the school?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;color: #262626\">Another issue is what kind of m-learning device will student\u2019s use? Will every student use their own device?

This generation of students will be the first group to see so many changes, from SMARTboards to Ipads to m-learning. I think we need to slow down on all this technology \u201chype\u201d and look at the big picture. I believe there will be a time and place for m-learning in classrooms, I just do not believe that right now the education world is ready for this shift.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Jenaca<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What one change would you require to adopt m-learning for your own teaching and learning?
