1. Mobile Learning

2. The students of today are technologically savvy and in need of an education that is individualized and geared toward that technology. Through Mobile Learning, students will be able to experience learning through listening, reading, predicting, reflecting and responding. This entire experience can take place via a smart phone. Therefore, learning can take place anywhere at any time, but most importantly, all the time.

3. Many researchers have discovered the positive aspects of mobile learning through careful and analytical research. Some of these studies include: Ally, M. (2009). Mobile learning: Transforming the delivery of education and training. Athabasca, AB: Athabasca University Press. Keegan, D. (2005). The Incorporation of mobile learning into mainstream education and training. In mLearn2005 Retrieved December 31, 2011 from http://www.mlearn.org.za/CD/papers/keegan1.pdf http://www.mlearn.org.za/CD/papers/keegan1.pdf Wentzel, P., Lammeren, R., Molendijk, M., Bruin, S., Wagtendonk, A. (2005). Using mobile technology to enhance students' educational experiences, Case Study from the EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research. The research undergirding this innovation is demonstrated, including (a) the organization/people that developed the innovation, (b) the findings of their research, (c) the “lead thinkers,” for the innovation, and (d) how they convinced a manufacturer to produce the innovation.

9. Prior Knowledge – Assessment of current teacher/student knowledge and exposure to mobile devices Immediate Needs/Solutions – Determining manner of storing and using devices – Developing appropriate usage standards – Create lesson plans using the Learning Focused strategies to implement smartphones Innovative – Easy to use w/ numerous apps being developed daily Social System Norms – Staple technological tool regardless of socioeconomic status

10. Personality – Usage with teachers and students who favor and are willing to experiment with new technology Communication – Improved communication between students and teacher through using a technological medium that is comfortable and familiar to the student

11. Relative Advantage – Improved communication and active engagement of students Compatibility – Standard software that can be maintained and troubleshot through the District Technology Support Complexity – No standard operating system or platform for mobile learning yet. Continuous monitoring necessary Triability – Professional learning opportunities should be made available for teachers to try mobile learning prior to implementation in the classroom. Observability – Teachers, administrators, and stakeholders will be able to observe the mobile learning process in action as well as view academic successes through a dashboard posted on the school web site.

12. Adoption – Select teachers will be given the opportunity to implement mobile learning in their classrooms. – These teachers will teach in 21 st century classrooms complete with two networked computers, smartboard, lcd projector, and Elmo document camera. – Once the mobile learning is successfully implemented, these teacher would model mobile learning to other teachers throughout the district. Rejection – Teachers not comfortable with the full implementation of mobile learning will be given the opportunity to opt out and continue their technology professional development until they are comfortable attempting to utilize the technological tools.

13. Teachers implementing the mobile learning technology will be offered continuous technical support and professional development opportunities.
