A challenge!
Students are
‘expecting academic
staff to take a lead’
in supporting them with
‘learning on the move’
In your view is this what an academic should do?

Technology is
becoming
embedded
and Wearable….
Talk to the hand…the gloves essentially
have a speaker unit inside of the thumb of
the glove and a microphone inside the
pinky.

Technology Is ubiquitous (its everywhere!)
For Pachler et al (2010:3) it is now accepted
that mobile devices have a number of
important characteristics which make them
attractive from an educational perspective,
including increasing portability,
functionality, multimedia convergence,
ubiquity, personal ownership, social
interactivity, context sensitivity, location
awareness, connectivity and personalisation
What phone do you
have?
Samsung?
HTC?
iPhone?
Mobiles have transformed how we
communicate – it’s a new way of life
About sharing
Communicating
Inside and outside
the classroom
And learning?
Are we
welcoming
technology into
the classroom?
Or are we
experiencing
digital
dissonance?
Thanks to Dr Cristina Costa
for sharing the image
“11- 16 years olds… have high
levels of access to Web 2.0
technologies…little evidence of
ground breaking activities and only
embryonic signs of criticality, self
management to metacognitive
reflection”
Whilst most expressed an interest in using in using online
technologies to support familiar school activities, such as
presentations or for communication, learners seemed
cautious about other activities associated with Web 2.0
tools, such as the shared construction of knowledge in a
public format
“
Luckin et al 2009
Situated learning
This what our
children do at
school!
In teacher training, this learning takes place in the
context in which the new skills will be used and this
learning can be said to be situated (Lave and Wenger,
1991).
What works?
Personal ownership
Collaborative learning
Classroom dynamics
Outdoor learning
Bridging home-school
divide
What should our response be?
These students are using
context based information
to work on marketing
theory. As they walk into a
wifi ‘hotspot’ information
is sent to their mobile
phone
(CONSENS EU project)

Students are
‘expecting academic
staff to take a lead’
in supporting them with
‘learning on the move’
Bradley & Holley 2010
Example:
In FHSCE we have the technology!
We use Txttools
https://www.txttools.co.uk/prelo
ginjsp/index.jsp
To text our major
project students
weekly study tips
in class and when
out on placement
To engage large
classes in
discussions – like
you have done
Enhances student
satisfaction &
minimises low
level disruption
To get feedback in
different contexts
“To possess the machines [they]
only need economic capital; to
appropriate them and use them
in accordance with their specific
purpose [they] must have access
to embodied cultural capital
either in person or by proxy”
Bourdieu 1986
The challenge is how to develop the
classroom of the future….
And it is a collaboration with our
students..
