Andrew Trotter has a recent article in Education Week's Digital Directions titled "Mobile Devices Seen as Key to 21st-Century Learning" in which he describes some of the findings of the report "Pockets of Potential: Using Mobile Technologies to Promote Children?s Learning" by Carly Shuler and published by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center. While I haven't had a chance to read the entire report yet, I'm encouraged by its proactive approach to integrating mobile devices into the K?12 classroom. I don't have a background in K?12 education, yet in my college experience I have found that too often new technologies are seen as interfering with learning processes rather than imagined as a means of supplementing those processes. (As if non-digital technologies like pen and paper weren't also potential sources of distraction.)
