Learning in an Age of Mobilism: Addressing the Barriers of Mobile Learning
Thursday, March 15th - 4pm Eastern Time
In This Session
Every week, over 15,000 apps are released into mobile app marketplaces. Mobile technologies are being adopted faster than any technology in the history of this planet. It has been predicted that by 2015, every child in every class in every school will be using a mobile learning device for curricular purposes, 24/7. K-12 schools simply won’t be able to sit out the mobile technologies revolution. Students, not the adults, are bringing the computing devices into the schools. Schools are going to have to make a choice: be planful or be overwhelmed. In our community’s’ next webinar, University of North Texas’ Cathleen Norris and University of Michigan’s Elliot Soloway will describe the key barriers to the adoption of mobile technologies in K-12 and equip you with strategies for addressing those barriers. Challenges to be covered include lack of vision, lack of funding, lack of curriculum, lack of assessment tools, among
others. Join Cathleen and Elliot on March to learn how to advance mobile learning in your school or district.
