What is in our pocket?

It is the Mobile technology or the cell phone that most of all people used. According to Marc Prensky one-and-one half people, all over the world, are walking, around with powerful computers in their pockets and purses.

A mobile phone is a portable telephone that can make and receive calls over a radio frequency link while the user is moving within a telephone service area.

 I can still remember, my first cell phone is like this. And I can still describe what it looks like. It looked like black bug, but 10x bigger I first use to text and communicates to my family and friends. I also played snake, that game was fun.  Although it had a stick-like horn above its head or that’s we call antenna and but we can bring this mobile phone anywhere and put it to our pockets.

Who could think that mobile phone that could do so much texting and playing snake would be evolved?

Let’s begin with the most basic phones – those voice capabilities only. They are basically radios, which pick up and send signals on certain determined frequencies.

Is there anything students can learn on voice only phone? Yes let me suggest a few of them; Languages, Poetry, Literature, Public Speaking and storytelling.

The next one is the Short text Messages only recently introduced in the U.S. This feature has caught on like wildfire among young people in Europe and Asia, with literally billions of SMS messages being sent everyday around the world.

Through generation to generation mobile phones also caused to evolutionary learning. Newer technology has been developed and rolled out in a series of waves or generations. The generation terminology became widely used when 3G was launched, but is now used retroactively when referring to earlier system. Mobile phones now are slimmer, and much boost compare to the old phone. As the use mobile phones became widespread and people began to utilize mobile phones in their daily lives, it became clear that demand for data.

According to Marc Prensky what can you learn from your cell phone? – Almost everything! In the U.S its pretty much universally acknowledge that computers are essential for 21^st century students, although there is still considerable debate about how and when to use them. But most educators’ computer means PC, laptop, instances, PDA. It’s time we begin thinking of our cell phones as computers – even more powerful in some ways than their bigger cousins. The main difference is that the phones began with, and still have, small size, radio transmission and communication as their core features, expanding out toward calculation and other function.

When you lose your mobile, you lose part of your brain – Japanese students said. The statement indicates an intuitive thinking of the link between Digital Natives and technology that has escaped educators.

Today’s young people – or we can call them Digital Natives. They are using the high end technology mobile phones.  They can communicate by voice, text, increasingly, digital photographs and videos.  And increasingly, they are using them computing, such as digital processing which allows them to play ringtones and mp3s. The digital native children now a days are always using their mobile phones not in the proper way, they are abusing the righteousness of technology like; constantly texting, tells you who you can or can’t be friends with on social networking sites, sends negative insulting, or even threatening texts, emails, face book messages, tweets or other messages in online.  Students around the world were manipulating by the technology. Some students are depending on the technology that makes them indolent.

These mobile learning became a great part of our lives. Pioneers of technologies had incredibly introduced learning with the use of mobile phones. Students in all ages brackets benefit from the innovative, creative ways teachers use.  Provided example for the students how to work a great job of illustrating this technique in action.

Don’t let the world digital fool you in all this talk about how difficult it is for digital natives and digital immigrants to communicate. Truth is that this generational gap between the so called digital natives the generation of people born during or after the rise digital technologies and the digital immigrants people. The real issue is that the two worldviews that they represent are so different. www.m.huffpost.com 

www.jisc.ac.uk defined mobile learning as can be many things to different groups of people. Superficially, it appears from the outside to be, learning via mobile devices such as smart phones. Certainly these are important in enabling mobile learning. Mobile learning, which focuses predominantly on the attributes of mobile technology, have given way to more sophisticated conceptualize. But mobile learning is more than using mobile devices to access the mobility of the learner.

We are never without our technology. Technology has made it easier to be transparent.  It surrounds us. It permeates our lives. We have powerful computers in our pockets, and we have been.

As future teacher, we trained our children from the youngest age use social media, so it’s something that comes very naturally to us. Integrating technology into a classroom is a great way to reach diversity in learning styles. Technology in a classroom can helps the teacher to easily catch the attention of the students.  In technology the student has their collaborative learning. Collaborative learning is the joint intellectual effort by the students and the teacher. Learn how to encourage student to engage by incorporating discussion, active learning techniques, collaborative works, and problem based learning. Collaborative learning can developed the communication skills of our student. Learn how to design and developed their different skills and ability.  Students take turns being the teacher for a segment of the text or task. In their teaching role students lead the discussion, summarize material, ask questions, and clarify material. It can build trust and promote open communication for larger tasks, create group roles.
