Mobile technologies: What? Why? Where? When? How?

Mobile technologies can support learning in several ways when used appropriately. They offer opportunities for deep thinking, engagement, and social/emotional and intellectual development when students are connected to each other. The greatest impact on student learning comes from focusing on how mobile technologies can transform aspects of lessons and topics students typically struggle with, not just the technologies themselves. Some initial ways mobile devices can support learning are through note taking, archiving, social bookmarking, content curation, collaboration, and ubiquitous learning.
