GRUNDTVIG WORKSHOP Kraków 22.06 – 28.06.2014

"If we teach today's students as we taught yesterday's, we rob them of tomorrow." John Dewey

Mobile Learning Week (MLW) is the flagship UNESCO conference on mobile technologies and education.  Held annually, this event assembles a diverse group of stakeholders to share how affordable and widespread mobile technologies can advance Education for All goals.  Teachers are the pillars of education systems and their involvement is crucial to the viability of ICT in education efforts. This is particularly true as mobile technology jumps from the margins of education to the mainstream, from informal settings to formal ones and from small independently-funded projects to large government-supported initiatives. Without the support of teachers in their myriad iterations—including those who work with children, youth or adults—technology generally remains peripheral to teaching and learning.

SMILE SMILE is not only a mobile tool, but a means for transforming pedagogy within existing curriculum across all content areas. SoE seeks to equip teachers through mobile learning to create a space for students to become active agents of their own learning by actually doing the work of creating questions, leading to deeper learning and more critical thinking. SMILE was originally developed for the world’s most remote, underserved areas. Our SMILE Plug provides a private classroom cloud for up to 60 mobile devices. It’s said a smile can change the world.
