  1. Mobile Learning: Why, when, where, what, who and how Mary Mwangi (Ed.D) 2013

  2. Pencil vs. mobile learning The essence of the pencil is that you’ve got it all the time. I can pull it out of my pocket in a moment’s notice; it’s not a big deal. I don’t have to go to a special place. If I’ve got to write something, if I’ve got to calculate something, if I’ve got to draw something to make a point, I’ve got it all the time. It’s a personal instrument, and this is what is going to happenwith the digital technology. It’s going to be the pencil of the future. And I mean pencil in the sense that it’s got to be with us all the time to be used when we need it, when we want it, for a vast diversity of purposes. And when we do this, we will find that people will use them in very, very different ways--if we let them. Seymour Papert (Diversity in Learning: A Vision for the New Millennium, 1999)

  3. What and Why? Mobile learning is the use of mobile devices to enable learning anytime and anywhere. Using mobile technologies frees the user from being confined to a building or a particular location. A worthwhile use justify the expenses involved in purchasing the device and internet access.
