Navigate 4.1.1 – Trend Impact Quest

In my opinion, mobile learning is a growing trend that shows no evidence of going away any time soon. Companies are working around the clock to produce educational applications that support the content delivery for schools and universities around the world. The advancement of the cell phone over the past 20 years is remarkable. From a bulky phone in a bag to a touchscreen calling device to a complete phone, messaging, organizing, life-managing must-have, smartphones and tablets are a necessity in today's world.


It amazes me how phones were banned from school while I was in middle school, and a student would be suspended for 9 days if one was found in their possession. Today, smartphones are an integral part of my classroom instruction for my 8th grade science classes. I use them for almost every lesson, activity, and test. With students having access to a wealth of information at the tap of a screen, mobile learning will only expand with time.
