33. Group variation and speed of advancement Advancement In problem solving 1 device per 3 children 1 device per 7 children 1 device per a child Time

34. General patterns of device adoption and learning progress Children in more developed communities (More exposure to electronic devices) Children in less developed communities (Less access to electricity) Exploration Recognition Interaction Iteration Exploration Recognition Interaction Iteration Time Time

35. Exploration - Randomly trying out Recognition – Recognizing a phenomenon as a result of exploratory actions Interaction - Interacting with newly discovered stimuli Iteration - Falling in a loop with the same options Clock speed Engagement 1 2 3 4 User behavior pattern with mobile learning devices Exploration Recognition Iteration Interaction
