Global Efforts to Understand the Potential of Mobile Learning: UNESCO Shares Its Insight
The potential of mobile learning continues to expand in the U.S. and around the world. As districts and schools work to implement technology that has become commonplace for many students outside of school, they face many challenges and opportunities. In the October webinar for the edWeb.net Mobile Learning Explorations community, presenter Steven Vosloo, Program Specialist at UNESCO provided attendees with a global perspective, while Jennifer Fritschi, Director of Strategic Partnerships at SETDA and Mary Ann Wolf, CEO of Wolf ED, shared the United States’ perspective. Mobile learning has the ability to improve education systems and help reach marginalized populations through expanded access. Our presenters shared their insight on trends, examples, and policy and practice implications, including Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and professional learning opportunities. The stigma that is associated with mobile learning was discussed as well as potential barriers that may be encountered during implementation. These three professionals provide insight on how to overcome and ways to turn on mobile learning.
