These devices are typically of modern technology, provide instant access to the internet and can encourage student creativity.\u00a0Research by Cochrane, Antonczak, Keegan and Narayan (2014) suggest that &#8220;the ubiquitous ownership and connectivity of mobile devices\u00a0coupled with the collaborative affordances of social media&#8230;provide a rich platform for creative student-directed learning experiences&#8221; (p. 1). The use of these devices already extend beyond the school classroom and into universities and the workplace. Therefore, the logical action is to introduce them in an educational setting at an early age (Cochrane et al., 2014).
