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 90 mobile learning modern language activities is available at http bit ly

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 a play and compare contrast those images a teacher may have students do a science experiment and use a free scientific calculator app to give them statistical results what has your school decided about at home learning with mobile does your school want to extend learning or keep it

android app ipad learn mlearning mobile mobile device school tablet good mobile learning practice apps facilitate and transform learning mobile learning activities can increase students time on task in a classroom a teacher calls on one student after another but no student is active all the time only those who are called on are active students remain off task for much of the time since students just wait to be called on in doing a mobile learning app the students concentrate each second as they do the activity there do not waste time they are on task all the time very good apps incorporate games or challenges into the program these games or challenges are content driven they are not simply rewards of random non content games mobile learning can offer differentiation often in a classroom the teacher goes over the material until everyone has learned it the smart students become bored very quickly while the middle level students become impatient once they do get it a good mobile learning app can differentiate as soon as students achieve a given percent correct such as 85 the app moves the students up in difficulty or sophistication within that learning goal very good apps help the students to review and integrate previous learning concepts into the present learning mlearning apps can provide immediate feedback in a classroom a teacher may present five problems for the students to do waits until the class is done and then goes over each of the five problems as soon as the students do the first math exercise on a mobile app the the app immediately tells the students if they are correct or not students do not wait between doing the problem and finding out if they correct very good apps provide specific strategies for the students to learn how to overcome their learning gap in any problem they go beyond try again or no the answer is to explain how to learn the correct answer a mobile learning practice app can provide realistic and contextual learning instead of students doing math word problems written on paper a mobile app can show students real situations such as shopping in a grocery store here are cans of beets one sells for eighty eight cents and three sell for two dollars and forty cents which is the better deal and why very good apps simulate the real experience when students use a multi sensory learning app they go beyond just reading words
