LAPTOPS IN CLASSROOMS AND FINGERS ON MOBILES

Sue Greener, University of Brighton, United Kingdom

All teachers are faced with decisions about allowing and/or encouraging the use of highly mobile devices in classrooms. Some writers in the literature, and many teachers, propose strict rules governing the use of highly mobile devices in class; other researchers demonstrate added value through the affordances of highly mobile devices in class (e.g., Swan, Kratcoski, & van t’Hooft, 2007). This paper will draw on recent research to clarify the main issues in this debate and help teachers in Higher Education (HE) to consider the best approach to adopt in their own practice.
