I really enjoyed reading the tidbits this week. I also found several interesting vidoe on mobile learning on youtube.

I believe that mobile learning is a wave of the future and our children will have a much easier time with it than us BUT I also think that being connected all the time is a burden. We are always checking our phones and we feel like we should be connected. What happened to the days of silence, where we are not hearing ringing, beeping and songs. Should we take the time to stop and catch our breathe before we just into the next new thing? I don't know... silence is golden or is it?
"being connected all the time is a burden."
ReplyDeleteTell me about it! I'm the worst at this. SociaLens, an organization based here at IU, has a really good post on how there is a very big difference between digital literacy and digital fluency here that I think you'll like. Let me know what you think! Heck, let THEM know what you think.

Thank you for sharing the video from Youtube, Christina.. Can we live without mobile phones? For some people mobile learning can be an option for learning. But for me at this time, I'd prefer other ways to learn. Well, it's just because we have becoming so dependence to mobile phone. I need to do other stuff beyond mobile phone use. But it's just my opinion. I know other people might have different preference.
