Mobile eLearning

Here is the link http://mlearning.edublogs.org/2008/02/06/exploring-cellphones-as-learning-tools/

This was a very interesting blog and i especially liked some of the contributions people have made with the comments section of this site. Basically a case study was done to test the use of mobile phones in school teaching, with some good insights into the proportion of grade 8/9 children with cellphones at school, how they used their cellphones, and how learners without cellphones were considered.

I thought this was very interesting to use and see another learning tool and how it can have a positive impact within the learning environment. Furthermore it was interesting to see how it challenged the educators to effectively put across the learning.

I like how this type of learning is in the experimental stages and i like the idea that the use of mobile technology can aid learners in a more effective learning style.
