Mobile learning makes its mark on K-12 — from edweek.org
The use of mobile devices for learning is sparking a shift in the ed-tech landscape, but its impact on student achievement is unclear. One of the joys, and challenges, of covering educational technology is that the landscape is forever shifting as digital advancements carve new twists and turns. The latest shift in the landscape is the growing use of portable technology tools for learning. Mobile devices such as smartphones and iPods, still seen as nuisances or contraband by many schools, are now viewed by an increasing number of teachers and administrators as cost-effective tools to build and sustain 1-to-1 computing programs.
