The Mobiles
![Page 5: Mobile learning: Does it make a difference -VITTA Nov 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051609/546350c8b4af9f6c1c8b4a5b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Mobile learning is…‘learning in a more personalised way, handing over more control to the learners themselves’
‘disruptive learning’
(Stead, 2006) ‘holds and heightens student interest, engages
students in learning, and provides yet another means for expressive and receptive literacy’
(Dogeby, 2007)
The Research
![Page 6: Mobile learning: Does it make a difference -VITTA Nov 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051609/546350c8b4af9f6c1c8b4a5b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
‘a small, cleverly designed handheld game can significantly enhance learner performance in
mental maths as well as having a positive impact on other aspects of classroom life’
(Robertson, 2009)
‘mobile devices can have a positive impact on learning experiences for both educators and
students’
(McFarlane, Triggs& Yee, 2008; Ng & Nicholas, 2009)

‘Schools with one-to-one computing programs have fewer discipline problems, lower dropout rates, and higher rates of college attendance than schools with a higher ratio of students to computers…but for one-to-one programs to boost student achievement as well, they must be properly implemented.’
Project Red (Revolutionizing Education) June 2010

Mobile learning stimulates enjoyment in learning…‘fun’ activity
Greater interaction (& writing) from boys in particular, in blogs, podcasts and web pages
Stimulates teachers and students to work creatively to improve literacy and numeracy
Student performance data – improves numeracy and literacy, increases skills in teamwork, interpersonal skills and ICT skills
Motivates teachers to rethink their pedagogy around the use of ICT and mobile devices
