Paper Abstract:
|
A multimedia maelstrom tracing the uptake of portable technologies PDAs, Bluetooth, GPS, USB storage, radio
frequency devices, mini or sub notebooks that have impacted, more than any other emerging technology, on the
improvement and acceleration of the learning opportunities of our (P-6) students. Classroom boundaries have blurred as
our tech savvy content driven generation c students connect, collaborate, create and communicate portably and in
partnership with teach savvy and innovative practitioners in order to learn smart, teach smart and add further value to
their learning with activities designed around learning theories i.e. 8 ways to be smart, taxonomies of thinking and other
strategies of instruction and classroom management.
This paper will relate our mobile journey to date; from the fledgling first steps involving simulation and attempts to
augment reality, to the embedding of curriculum specific and engaging multisensory learning tasks that allow for the
students different learning styles and abilities while utilising the key components of mobile learning tools: software
functionality, hardware functionality and connectivity capabilities- to unleash improved learning opportunities. |
