As ever there have been a lot of blog posts on m-learning over the last week. So just in case you missed them, here are five I’d recommend to you. I’ve chosen them as they cover a range of m-learning aspects.
First up a couple of posts that give you some apps to get your teeth into:
20 Great Apps for Primary Literacy.
The name says it all but don't feel limited by the Primary literacy bit, some of the apps mentioned in here work well in ELT, especially if you like to encourage story writing and telling. I had a number of these apps already including the wonderful toontastic which you can use to make cartoons. Definitely a list of apps worth checking out.
Apps for Learning Grammar Skills
Given our profession, this post is worth looking at to see what kind of apps are available for grammar. Again it is aimed at main stream education but the three apps can cross over and be of use if you teach YL.
Article three is not about apps themselves but how to organize them lifehacker.com suggests a way to organize apps by action rather than a category.
The final two choices are to do with teaching using m-devices. On the emoderation station, the latest post gives five easy ways to get started towards a mobile classroom. It outlines simple steps to use the functions of a phone with students, from talking about it through to creating treasure hunts. Finally, the literacy journal blog has an excellent article on using just one ipad in the classroom. It shows some ways to use it and some apps that lead to collaboration.
Hope you find them as useful as I did to read.
