How to get started with mobile learning

Lots of teachers know that students bring their mobiles phones or tablets into school or class and would love to harness the power and motivation that these little devices contain.   With so many different makes, platforms, apps, some Smart, some old and some simple devices it is very hard to find any common ground and see somewhere to start!  If you would like to gently dip a toe into the whole world of mLearning and BYOD (Bring your own device) this session may help. We will look at the sort of things that you can do on lots of different devices and how they can be used to aid language learning. A few apps may be mentioned but mostly the concentration will be on the generic resources available on many modern phones. We will also think about how to address the have / have not / have very old combinations of student’s phones that we have in our classrooms.
