Learning that happens wherever the learner happens to be utilizing handheld technology. It is not based on place.
Devices today broaden the meaning of communication. Itâs moved beyond synchronous voice to mass communication through connecting with many people via social networking and mass texting According to Chickering and Gamson a good practice in undergraduate education is to encourage contact between students and faculty. Web based services and their use of mobile phone technologies enable students and faculty to have levels of communication and contact previously unimagined.
Learners can access data from the internet anywhere there is a signal immediately satisfying a need for access to facts. We can move beyond that to provide ubiquitous access to lessons.
Classroom response systems, ubiquitous instruction, streaming mobile video, also please refer to Mobile Tools for Teaching and Learning located at technology4teachers.com

Cheating: Generally speaking, teaching models still revolve around information and students understand that in this environment, they need to show that they know the necessary information in order to get a good grade. Itâs time to modernize teaching and learning models where the emphasis is on skill development and where information is a resource to skills attainment. Reliance on internet: up to date information is now at everyoneâs fingertips. Weâre moving beyond a paradigm where itâs important to recall facts to one where itâs more important to know how to find information and judge itâs value and relevance. Too distracting: If a student is in a classroom and is not engaged with the lesson, they will find other things to do to engage themselves. This is not a new phenomena. How many of you use your mobile devices in meetings, conferences, workshops or while watching TV?
