Mobile technologies in education

Mobile phones are the permanent part of everyday life. On average, every person look at his phone 10 times an hour. So, it makes sense to start using mobiles in learning, instead of wasting your time surfing the Internet.

There are a lot of mobile apps, which allow studying in any place you want (but most of them require internet connection). In my previous messagess I'd mentioned some of really useful applications.

So, in my opinion, mobile applications have more advantages than the same apps for computer. Mobile technology helpes research  and allows quick and easy feedback. Students are able to carry around all their module materials, which reduce the need for excess notes or textbooks to be carried around during lecture times. Students can read their materials on their mobile phones during the lecture or even at home, laying on the bad.

Mobile technologies can be used in classroom by:
1) using audio recording features
2) creating videos
3) using QR codes
4) using live polling tools

I've never used QR codes before. Then I've known about the ability of easy internet connection. You just need to scan QR code on mobile which is connected to Wi-fi (without entering password). I don't think that QR codes are very useful for education.

Actually, almost every teacher of BSU appreciate using mobile technology. It really saves teacher's time.
