Classroom Mobile Learning
Mobile learning in the classroom was something I was interested in. I had left High School just as they were introducing iPads as their main form of learning.
Each student was to purchase an iPad from the school, and were handed a list of apps to download for their classes. I was immediately keen with the idea, mainly because students were using these devices anyway, so why not use them educationally as well?
Whole text books became available to them on their iPads and all their written assessment was done on Pages, a free app that works as the Apple equivalent to the Microsoft Word processor.

The great thing about this is that the students can then submit their work straight from their iPads to the Teacher via a sharing app, the most popular one being Dropbox.
Not only does this make sharing easier, but the iPads are excellent for maintaining student concentration and attention. With all the different types of learning resources and games available to teachers and students, there is constant engagement.
