Tablets are poised to change all that. Their size, price, touch-based interfaces, and endless flexibility make them perfect for use in K-12 classrooms. However, the few educational apps developed to date have not taken full advantage of the tablet's educational potential. The reason for this has been a lack of communication and mutual understanding between K-12 teachers and mobile app developers. The authors of \u003ci\u003eMobile Learning\u003c\/i\u003e have identified this critical gap and have written this book to bring teachers and developers together in conversation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTeachers, education leaders, and developers alike need to get on the same page when it comes to the opportunities and challenges of educating students in a digital world. Dozens of interviews with in-service educators, along with decades of development experience and thorough academic research, form the basis for the ideas presented in \u003ci\u003eMobile Learning\u003c\/i\u003e. Readers are introduced to the possibilities that mobile devices offer in both traditional and informal learning environments. The authors' rich discussion of how students learn creates a synoptic view of the contemporary educational landscape, allowing readers to orient themselves in ways that will be of the greatest benefit to today's students. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithout a clear definition of what makes a good mobile education app, we risk subjecting students to technology for technology's sake. Countless educators have already made this mistake, striving to bring mobile learning into the classroom without a clear sense of what makes mobile learning work. In this book, the authors--a team of educational software experts at SAS--develop a framework that will orient app development and provide teachers with a way to gauge whether current and future apps meet their students' needs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45150744969367,"sku":"9781118894309","price":2844.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781118894309.webp?v=1769207072","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/mobile-learning-a-handbook-for-developers-educators-and-learners-9781118894309","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
