Mobile learning in K-12 education: Personal meets systemic

Abstract

This paper investigates one school’s journey towards integrating mobile learning within its institutional structures. This includes a comparison of the school’s objectives against mobile learning affordances. The approach takes into account the cultural contexts, dynamic nature of digital change, and school structural challenges that impact on providing worthwhile education outcomes. Several in-school case reviews on mobile learning use within the school look at mobile learning integration. As well as providing insights for other schools to consider, possible ways forward are presented for better understanding the dynamic relationship between mobile learning and school intentions, as well as challenges that go with ever-evolving digital technologies.
