On the website "EDTech Opportunity Realized" there was one link that led me to M-learning, or "mobile learning". I learned that although different people may have a different meaning for it, mobile learning is "learning across locations, or taking advantage of learning opportunities offered by portable technologies." This has decreased the limitations of learning that being in a fixed location may cause. By using handheld computers and pocket PC's or even cell phones, students can promote group collaborations. This provides even better support for the audiovisual learner. The content is adaptable to meet each students individual needs, and it is easily accesible. Not to mention that it allows the students to act independently and without time constraints. I know that we use computers in our classrooms, but after reading this, I think it would be beneficial for the students to have some sort of portable technology that they could have access to whenever they needed it. I would like to find more information on what other types of portable technologies are available for students and how they can be readily available to them.
