The document discusses how education spaces are changing with new technologies like digital learning, virtual classrooms, mobile learning, and blended learning. This allows learning to happen 24/7 from anywhere through tools like videoconferencing, online collaboration, and social media. Teachers can better cater to individual student needs and connect globally. Challenges include ensuring cyber safety and developing new digital skills.

50. A blog post on
Learning from
Students and their use
of mobile phones in
the classroom.
Hello! One of my students always uses her
mobile for taking notes of her home assignment.

51. Response to responding comment on
mobile phone use
• Hi Anne,
I am sorry, I have just seen your question. I know, some schools don’t
allow mobile phones at school at all. Mobiles are not allowed during state
exams. There are no rules about them in my school. Neither my students
nor I make phone calls during lessons unless it is necessary. You know, I
am teaching students with disabilities. In fact, I can’t remember them
using their phones rather than show me some picture and speak about
them, or take notes, or record themselves. I think, it is better to make
good use of technology than to ban it in class.
All my students have mobiles, even the one with palsy who has difficulty
using his hands. He has iPhone (has had several versions, in fact), iPad and
some other gadgets at home. My kids are used to dealing with different
keyboards during their face-to-face lessons.
My student Mary uses the app ‘Заметки’ on her Samsung Mobile TV. The
word means ‘notes’ in English. She is taking exams this week, I will ask her
to show the app to me next week.

• Its fun to see that you are actually letting
students do this, I dont see a reason why you
shouldn’t.
• When I was in the university, we used to do this
to copy (lets say) “notes”, but mobile phones in
general were frowned upon by the staff. Of
course, all of them had one of those in their
pockets, still for some reason, we werent allowed
to have one.
