Our Students’ Mobile Skills
How often do you use MD in and outside the classroom for learning?
What tools and apps do you use outside the classroom?
What tools and apps do you use in the classroom?
Where are mobile devices worth applying ?
What would you use mobile devices for in your learning context?
What for do your teachers use mobile devices?
Do you want to use mobile devices in your learning experience everyday?
Reports of the interviewed students
Mobile devices are the best tools to be used for both autonomous and collaborative work
The 21st century is the era of technology. We need m-learning!
I used mobile devices everyday while studying in Germany
Mobile devices do not replace a teacher but they provide an amazing visualization of learning process
Mobile devices can simplify access to materials and improve academic interaction
Survey ResultsSurvey Results Smart phones and tablets are the most appropriate
MDs: no need in expensive computer classrooms Technologically and psychologically students are ready
to use mobile devices and apps Students more frequently use MD outside the
classroom in their learning experience than in classroom work
They very rarely use educational apps for FLL They don't use mobile devices for productive or for
collaborative activities
Challenges
The pressure towards the use of MD is coming from the students
Instructors unwillingly employ MD, don't guide the students through available educational apps
It is necessary to develop our instructors’ mobile literacies
It is a must to work out strategies and methods of MD implementation into traditional classroom
