1. Putting Mobile Back into Mobile Learning Mark van ‘t Hooft, PhD 2010 Miami University M-Learning Summit Oxford, Ohio

2. The mLearning revolution has merely provided “mobile learning in the classroom.” (Nash, 2009)

3. Interacting with a desktop computer takes place in a bubble, in dedicated times and places where the learner has their back to the world for a substantial and probably premeditated episode. Interacting with a mobile is different and woven into all the times and places of people’s lives… Desktop technologies operate in their own small world, mobile technologies operate in the world. (Traxler, 2010)

4. Mobile Learning Means… … going beyond just mobile technologies or delivering content to mobile devices.

5. Mobile Learning Means… “…being able to operate successfully in and across new and ever changing contexts and learning spaces.” (Pachler, 2009)

6. Mobile Learning Means… …real and digital realms augment each other.

7. Mobile Learning Means… … learning as constructivist, situated, collaborative, informal, and lifelong.

8. Mobile Learning Means… … emphasizing 21 st century skills.

16. Food for Thought Importance of “place”

17. Food for Thought Meet learners half-way and take advantage of the technology skills they already have, but teach them how to use these skills for learning. Don’t assume they already know.

18. Food for Thought Learning lasts a lifetime, and we can and should teach our students how to take advantage of digital technologies for that purpose.
