About
In
the face of the "new normal" of decreased budgets and increased
expectations, many administrators are turning to technology to enhance
teaching and learning while mitigating the consequences of consecutive
years of budget cuts. Mobile learning, in particular, has attracted a
great deal of attention for its potential to engage students by
leveraging the technology environment they have grown accustomed to in
their non-school lives; its potential to scale personalized learning and
reduce the digital divide; its potential to extend learning beyond the
four walls of the classroom and the limited hours of the school day; and
its potential to enable new pedagogies based on the affordances of
these devices that students already carry at their fingertips.
