Nowadays generation does
not use mobile phones for only exchanging information but for the educational
purposes. I think that is fine to go far from the traditional way of teaching.
When I was a pupil or a student I had no idea that education can be based on
not only paper pencil way of teaching. I think that nowadays generation is more
lucky. Teachers can use computers, mobile phones , iPods …… for the teaching purposes
and that is GREAT!!!
From the Hayo Reinders article we have learned that that there are
twenty ideas for using mobile phones in the language classrooms. According to Chinnery ( 2006), and Kukulska-Hulme (2005) mobile learning is
popular as they are relatively cheap and increasingly powerful. From this
article I mostly liked the idea 5
taking interviews, then idea 17playing
educational games, also idea 2 taking pictures and share them
in class. By all means this kind of learning creates collaborative listening
and speaking activities for students. I think those ideas can be successfully
implemented with Armenian kids for L2
learning purposes. Other thing that I liked
most is that By all means age is very important here. There certain types of
ideas which can be used for adults and separate for kids. I liked a lot the
research done by Revelle et al. (2007). According to Revelle the mobile phones can be successfully used for
alphabet teaching. The research shows that kids were able to learn
loaded Sesame Street videos on mobile. In her study, she reported that
mobile-phone delivery made it extremely easy to incorporate literacy activities.
But the m-learning has also disadvantages can be a problem for the Armenian students for
various reasons. I think the lack of necessary
knowledge can be a problem , also many students might not have phones in order
to use for classes. Any case I would like to try and use m-learning within my classes.
At first it might be challenging but after some time kids can get used to that.
The classes might be noise or many students might not understand what they
should do. So here the teacher will monitor and help them.
