My opinion on mobile learning

Mobile learning can be very beneficial to the classroom and student understanding. However I find that it is important for the use of technology to monitored and used in moderation. There are so many great Apps out there that allow for learning assistance, creating slide shows/ books/ interactive PowerPoint/etc. It is great because it allows for students to get more involved with hands on learning. But lets consider that especially with younger children it can often become a distraction or be hard on the eyes after some time. As teachers its important to utilize the tools we are given, and with this day and age technology is becoming almost essential to reaching students educationally. Yes, technology can enhance learning and make it more dynamic. Something to be weary about though, is knowing when its boosting student learning and when its taking away from student learning and understanding.  Like everything else,  using apps and technology within the classroom has a time and place, but it shouldn't be a constant within the classroom. I believe that the use of things like apps/ ipads and other forms of mobile learning is good as a TOOL to assist you as a teacher in your teaching. Mobile learning shouldn't be the main thing that is the staple of a classroom.
