Abstract: In the past decade, the learning landscape has changed dramatically in many schools across the globe. This change has resulted from the rapid development and adoption of modern digital technologies which have seeped into educational environments. One such development is that of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. While these devices can be used to mimic traditional pedagogies, the real benefit is when they are used to expand educational opportunities in new ways that enable students to gain a deep conceptualized understanding of the subject content. In this presentation, Dr. Crompton describes how mobile technologies are being used to extend and enhance learning. This is followed by a description of the unique benefits to using mobile technologies beyond other tethered digital technologies. Frameworks are presented that have educators considering how technologies are selected and used to take advantage of their unique potential.
