Paper Abstract:
|
Advocates of ubiquitous computing have long been documenting classroom benefits of one-to-one ratios of students to
handheld or laptop computers. The recent sophisticated capabilities of the iPod Touch and iPhone have encouraged
further speculation on exactly how K-12 teaching and learning might be energized by such devices. This paper
summarizes the research-to-date on mobile learning for K-12 students, and then delineates specific features and
applications available on the iPod Touch that might impact student learning across the curricula. Finally, caveats are
offered regarding the introduction and assimilation of these handheld computers into K-12 schools. |
