This blog is very personally based for me. I could really use mobile learning right now as my computer service is too slow for me to watch any of the videos. I got to watch them in a choppy delivery. So... tomorrow after school, I will access session 6 at school where the internet service is faster.
I really think mobile learning will be in our schools future. Many of my students have smartphones. They are accessing Facebook, etc. during lunch hour and after school. Of course, I don't understand how they can have a smartphone but little money for gasoline or food. However, I am an educator and I cannot judge or question their value system. I will just have to make sure that I take advantage of their smartphone usage and adapt lessons with videos for their usage.
Saturday, after we were locked out of KRESA, I actually got on my smartphone for the longest time ever to find information. I now long for an iPhone and more minutes to access the internet.
As for cloud computing, I can see the benefit of that also. Some software programs, like virus protection services, already use a form of cloud computing. I could see the benefit if you only pay for usage. However, I do have to do more research on my school to really understand the full benefits.
When I was doing my student teaching, there were biology internet site that cost the school system alot of money but the interactive tools that students were able to use was incredibly valuable. I really wish I could find my notes to connect to that website again. I could write a grant to have access to it.
So after I look at the session 6 at school tomorrow, I will update this blog.
