comments tags android app choice ipad learning mlearning mobile selection student traditionally teachers research apps for their class they assign apps to students the teachers assign a specific app or give students a choice of several pre selected apps as a modern language teacher i suggested apps to my students in the early part of the year however in january i let my students select which apps they wanted to use based on their own app searching and a minimal checklist i just gave them a topic to search as food i asked them to look at two or more apps that had the same topic my minimal checklist includes has a comprehensive list of words phrases or sentences for the topic gives the written spanish word and its definition or included a picture pronounces the word is free and is available on both android and ipad the app gets extra points if it uses the words or phrases in sentences or questions the app also receives extra points if the app provides practice on the words i found that when i let my students select which apps they wanted to use based on their own app searching and a minimal checklist they actually used the app in fact they often commented to other students about their great app for the topic they willingly showed me the app they shared stories about where they were when they were using the app supposedly helping mom in the grocery store more importantly they learned the critical vocabulary for the topic from the app so they were ready to use the vocabulary in their communicating about the topic who selects apps for your students my ebook

mlearning mobile device mobile learning sigml student many schools are going mobile or one to one schools sometimes make decisions without thinking about the full consequences such as mobile and home learning if schools supply mobile devices to the students do the students take the mobile devices home if students do not take the mobile device home then mobile is only considered an in school learning tool teachers cannot assign at home mobile work students can not learn 24 7 schools may not supply a mobile device for home because they assume that students have a mobile device at home do all students have the same mobile device as used in school do all students have an ipad what about those with android tablets chrome do teachers assign at home mobile work for a specific machine for a specific app or do teachers assign mobile tool assignments such as taking pictures videorecording an event and reading an ebook that can be done on any mobile device do teachers limit those students who can do the assignment at home or do they provide for the widest base possible so that all students can do the assignment likewise teachers will want to use free apps no student should have to pay for an app for school an alternative is for the district to obtain a license so students can use a specific app for multiple platforms android ipads and chrome at school and at home for byod schools the same basic questions apply byod schools accept multiple devices they promote including all devices teachers focus not on a specific app but on the learning purpose and use common tools or common apps that work on many devices all mobile devices can search the internet or go to internet sites so teachers ask students to do a google image search for the different images for a specific scene in
