Mobile learning is the present and the future of education, and has implications both inside and outside of the traditional classroom. Shelly Terrell's article provides some great insight on how we can embrace and become effective with our use of mobile learning devices.
Her guide provides insight, links, and advice for how to get teachers started along the way to a technologically equipped classroom. She begins with some great advice on which device to choose for your type of classroom and your particular situation. Shelly also provides some great insight on how to get parents "on board" with the use of mobile devices in the classroom, as well as, how to influence your educational leadership to allow/endorse the movement.
Shelly completes her guide with a great list of educational apps depending on the goal of your classroom and its implementation. I have used many of the apps myself in my graduate and undergraduate classes (Evernote, puppetpals, storykit, talking tom, etc.), so I am on board for testing some of her other suggestions. Below is a link to her guide with active links to check our some of her suggested apps and related articles.
