Especially these days, I see many students being obssessed\/attached to their cellphones. They just can&#8217;t let it go during class. I&#8217;ve caught more than a dozen students\u00a0over the last 2 weeks exchanging SMS while I was doing a lesson. I&#8217;ve confiscated and handed it over to the admin several times, but still don&#8217;t see positive changes.<\/p>\n<p>Would m-learning help them focus on learning? As a teacher, I need to monitor if they are paying attention or not. Hence, I&#8217;m worried that I might be the one who promotes them to use a cellphone. This might bring a result that students think it&#8217;s okay to use their mobile devices any time they want.<\/p>\n<p>Under the circumstances that all students will obey the classroom rules, I&#8217;d adpt m-learning for my teaching. The classroom rules regarding the use of mobile devices are still the area that many schools and districts need to work on.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Look at the samples below \u2013 how might you use m-learning in teaching and learning?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I might use m-learning for the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bluetoothing project material between group members<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Receiving SMS &amp; email reminders from teachers:<\/strong> I&#8217;ve been doing this since 2 years ago. I usually tweet or send SMS to my students in summer school. I won&#8217;t do it during the regular school year as there are many more options for my students to communicate with me. I specifically use SMS during summer school because I&#8217;m covering everything they are supposed to learn within 6 weeks. Since students don&#8217;t have much time to communicate with me, SMS is the fastest and the easiest way to communicate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Synchronizing calendar\/timetable and setting reminders<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Accessing revision sites on the Internet<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Creating short narrative movies<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Logging into the school email system<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Transferring files between school and home<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Deb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I apologize for posting it late.
