The big mobile learning questions for schools

                                         

Are we effectively communicating the benefits of mobile technology in our schools? – to our teachers- to our parents – to our children?

Has your School Leadership Team embraced the benefits of mobile learning and understand their role in developing innovative learning?

Can a mobile learning strategy be implemented without a thorough understanding of the pedagogical framework of mobile learning?

What are you doing to make mobility a reality in your  school / community / district?

Are we saying no to mobile technology just because it is seen as a distraction? 

When it comes to mobile learning do you have too many energy sappers who cling to outdated negative attitudes with respect to the use of mobile devices? 

Are we providing effective mobile tools for collaboration, sharing and instilling creativity?

Can you afford not to have a strategy for mobile learning implemented within the next year?

What is the role of the student in developing mobile learning in a school?

How can we evaluate the effectiveness of mobile learning?
