This article in Education Week talks about how many teachers are trying to make lessons accessible via cell phones or other mobile devices. By allowing access on these types of devices, teachers are providing students with more opportunities to access important information and become more involved in the learning. This task comes with some difficulties, though. Not all portable devices are capable of such tasks. They may not have the capabilities to run the lessons, which would not be beneficial to these students. The use of these mobile lessons has created some bonding experiences for some teachers who are currently using it. They cause the teachers to work together more closely and share information and tips. Do you think that these mobile lessons are beneficial? To whom are they beneficial? What are some of the benefits? What are some other drawbacks, which are not listed?
