Mobile technology is huge - smartphones, tablets, laptops, Chromebooks - and provides some great learning opportunities.
itslearning has gathered statistics from sources like the “Harvard Gazette,” Ambient Insight, and PBS regarding the effect of mobile devices on the education of Generation Z. The findings have been
summarized in an infographic titled “Generation Z: Growing and Learning with Mobile”
(http://www.itslearning.net/gen-z-growing-and-learning-with-mobile-infographic), and they reveal that incorporating middle school students’ mobile habits into classroom instruction can have a profoundly positive influence on their learning.
Among the facts that the infographic shares are the following:
* The small screens of mobile phones allow dyslexic students to read
faster without sacrificing comprehension.
* Studies show standardized test scores are higher in courses where
students use mobile devices than in offline classrooms.
* Of the middle school students using mobile devices, 78 percent use the
devices for checking grades, 69 percent use them for taking notes and 64
percent for writing papers.
