Mira's blog post got me thinking about ways to integrate mobile technology into teaching practice. There are various [|applications], including Apple [|Apps], to keep teaching notes organised and handy when walking into class (imagine being able to walk into class with only a mobile phone! - no folders, notes, laptop). The second thought was how to harness the technology as a teaching tool for the classroom collective. At the moment, my vision of how mobiles will form a key learning platform is a bit blurry at this stage, but it's being shaped by how organisations like the the [|World Bank] talk about mobile education in developing parts of the world, as well as [|mobile lesson plan ideas] (including using phones to create [|ringtone raps and jingles about chemical elements from the periodic table]!) and examples of schools, such as [|St Marys City School] (Ohio), which actively embrace mobile learning technology in the classroom.
