Mobile phones in school. Selected m-learning projects from Great Britain and the German speaking countries

Author(s): Seipold, Judith

Abstract

Mobile learning is not a big issue in Germany, Austria and Switzerland yet, but started to get recognised by educational research and school. In Great Britain, on the other hand, research on m-learning and projects with mobile devices in schools is a topic of interest since some years now. Having a look at the use of mobile devices in schools and their integration in the curriculum, again, there are striking differences between Great Britain and Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In this text, a short country-comparison is followed by a theoretical model to make the connection between “everyday media literacy” (Alltagsmedienkompetenz) of pupils and its integration in school. With the help of an example for m-learning from Switzerland, the relevance of the integration of everyday media literacy in the curriculum, as well as the pedagogical underpinning of self produced m-learning material is pointed out.
