My bold stream by toni bahnsen https://padlet.com/bahnsentoni/2en24ezo6mb Made with a quick smile en-us 2019-04-28 13:28:09 UTC 2019-05-01 02:31:09 UTC hello@padlet.com Scholarly Conversation: Mobile Learning bahnsentoni https://padlet.com/bahnsentoni/2en24ezo6mb/wish/354769638
  • How would we apply the information from the conversation to support our professional and personal growth?
    • Jessica: Scholarly conversations provide an excellent starting point for self-reflection as we take the time to research methods that may or may not be familiar to us.  This process allows us to share our accomplishments or express our concerns and get the insight of others to help us continue to learn and grow as educators.
    • Jamie: The conversation made me aware of how mobile learning is used by my classmates in their settings. I found it interesting to learn about the standards in different states and compare them to my own.
    • Toni:  It is important that we start to have the mindset of starting first with the technology devices that are our students are in possession of, then consider how best to branch out the learning experience from there as opposed to simply considering mobile technology as a "resource".
    • Ronald: Information from our conversations can be used as reinforcement our professional and learning experiences. Our conversations can be used as a resource along with the assignments we created within class.

  • Have your thoughts and understanding changed through the conversation?
    • Jessica: I chose to pursue a degree in business education because I knew the technology aspect would continue to foster my desire to "solve the puzzle".  The exciting thing about Mobile Learning is how it has evolved over the years and how it will continue to evolve in the future.
    • My thoughts haven't really changed from the conversation, but I was reminded of the need to be adaptable and open to what technology has to offer.  The conversation also encouraged me to think more about how digital literacy can shape the way students learn.  Mobile learning and technology can be a great tools for learners when learners are equipped with knowledge on how to use them productively.
    • Toni:  To a certain degree, "yes." But the thing that has not changed is the need to take for good teaching. While this technology is quickly transitioning from a "resource" to an "extension of the student and his/her persona", there is NO substitute for quality, thoughtful teaching practices that put the needs and differentiated learning styles of our students first.
    • Ronald: Not much. The conversation and educational materials reinforced what the instructional design industry has said will happen. The increase in communication through technology and better user design will continue to make mobile learning better.

  • What are our key takeaways from the conversation? 
  • Toni:  Mobile Learning is the new frontier in education, digital learning skills are not as prevalent as we might think, a need for accountability on the part of the student is needed.
  • What are the conclusions for each of the issues and questions we defined earlier?
  • Toni: Teachers will soon not have a choice of adapting to the use of mobile learning, curriculum standards need to be revamped, and in some cases produced, for digital learning skills and those skills need to be rigorous enough to take advantage of the multiple enhancements that today's mobile devices can offer, tracking and accountability systems that are effective, but not intrusive into the academic lives of our students are needed if mobile learning is to produce successful outcomes.
