As pioneering districts are beginning to realize the enormous potential of mobile learning, they are also discovering the potential pitfalls at each step along the way. The CoSN Leadership for Mobile Learning Initiative has developed this guide to support school districts in navigating the digital transition to mobile learning in 1:1, BYOD, and mixed environments.
As a district leader you may be under pressure from your students, parents, teachers or community to adopt a mobile learning environment. You may be implementing a suite of technologies to support on-line assessment and planning for an infrastructure that will support the rapidly changing digital tools and resources that are becoming available for K-12 education. You may be looking for technology to support a mix of both old new pedagogies enabled by 24/7/365 Internet connectivity. Or you may have a vision for teaching and learning that depends, among other things, on the affordances of mobile devices.
In any scenario, mobile learning leads to new considerations, from technology infrastructure to professional development, to policy changes, to funding, to equity issues. This guide provides a foundation for addressing these considerations through specific tools, checklists, and current, actionable advice and insight from technology leaders in pioneering districts.'
The guide includes the following general topics:
- Steps to mobile learning
- Mobile Learning - avoiding common pitfalls
- Mobile learning insights
