Every year groups of analytics focus on new trends in elearning and draft the approaches that can affect the education. There are two main sources of this information: Horizon Report andGartmer Hype Cycle. Both of them publish each year reports are published annually and can serve as a basis for planning in education and not only. In the last two years two trends were mentioned in the reports: mLearning and BYOD. This is what I wanted to comment upon in this entry. What is mlearning? Have a go at the video below. Wikipedia defines mLearning as follows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-learning The term m-learning or "mobile learning", has different meanings for different communities, covering a range of use scenarios including e-learning, educational technology and distance education, that focuses on learning with mobile devices. Useful in ELT? Yes it can be linked with BYOD ( Bring Your Own Device) approach. It can be highly beneficial but must be planned correctly. Below you will find a video done on BYOD /BYOT showing the differences between the two. The video also mentions SAMR Model on which you will find some more information in the next post. SAMR model can help you start to integrate technology into your lesson plans There are many websites on SAMR model and Kathy's Schrock's blog sheds some light on it. http://www.schrockguide.net/samr.html
