Learning is not the product of teaching. Learning is the product of the activity of learners.- John Holt
I believe mobile devices transform learning when integrated effectively. Our students have powerful devices that they can carry in their pockets. With their devices students can capture images, make videos, record audio, access the Internet, and so much more! These tools will work without Internet access. When we download apps and have Internet access, our learners have endless opportunities to learn by creating, exploring, researching, and playing. In my book, Learning to Go published by The Round, I provide ideas, lesson plans, rubrics, and mobile ready handouts to accomplish this. The ebook is less than 2 Starbucks coffees and available as a PDF (best version) or Kindle book. Below find a list of 50+ Mobile Learning resources and 100s of free apps! Feel free to pass these resources around, print them, provide links or embed them on your sites, and use them with your colleagues. Keep visiting because these resources are continuously updated! One part of my job is traveling worldwide and helping teachers integrate technology and mobile learning effectively even if all they have available are the devices students bring in. If your school is interested in having me work with your teachers and students, contact me at [email protected]. Below is a video of my recent training in Croatia.
