On one of the commercial television stations recently, there was an item that caught my attention. At a local highschool in Sydney, students were using mobile phones in the classroom as a learning tool. In most high schools in NSW, mobile phones are a banned item, so it came as quite a surprise that they were being used in the classroom. I decided to explore this further.
M-learning or mobile learning is the use of mobile technologies to enhance learning. They include mobile phones, PDAs, Pocket PCs. The bonus of using M-learning tools is that it can be used anywhere at anytime. There are many interesting ways to use mobile phones for learning. This website outlines some of these ideas for using mobile phones. Check out the other links on this site. Very interesting.

The issue of mobile phones in education is a fascinating one. And one that I have experienced a brick wall with at my pracs. During my second prac I asked if I could podcast the students poetry (written by them in class) to their mobiles I got a resounding NO! I will be interested to examine this issue further.
