In Mobile Learning Devices, author Kipp Rogers confronts the doubts many educators and parents have toward the use of mobile learning devices (MLDs) in classrooms. "Mobile learning," he writes, "challenges many of the basic assumptions that have been made for decades about education." He then shows how schools can mitigate the potentially negative effects of MLDs, while using them to enhance and expand learning in the 21st century classroom. The first chapter explains exactly what mobile learning is and how it can benefit students. Chapter 2 focuses on the instructional and pedagogical purposes of using MLDs in the classroom and discusses how they can be used to enhance the instruction of 21st century skills and National Educational Technology Standards (NETS). Chapter 3 explains how to incorporate technology in the classroom in the most effective ways to promote student learning. Chapter 4 provides specific steps and logistical guidelines for introducing mobile learning devices in schools. Chapter 5 provides nine complete sample lessons that integrate mobile learning devices. The final chapter looks forward to the implications and potential of mobile learning devices for future instruction and educational reform.
