Mobile Learning

The circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic highlight the opportunities and benefits that mobile technologies can provide to students and instructors as they learn and teach in unusual times.

I'm disappointed to see that we are still making bad decisions like this. While inappropriate use of phones at school can be counterproductive to good learning, if teachers are educated in how to integrate mobile devices into their classes, they can be powerful teaching assistants. If phones are as bad for doing your job (learning at school, running a country) then perhaps our pollies should consider a phone ban at parliament? One poor polly even has a phone that looks like a lump of coal!
