Mobile Learning Numeracy in Ontario

Abstract

The growth of mobile technologies and devices has penetrated the world substantially over the last 5 years, and a large percentage of these users are young users. This introduces profound changes to traditional teaching practices which may initially be seen as low-key, but it will eventually create visible side effects in the education domain that cannot be ignored. As we push for effective instruction to be differentiated, we can use mobile technologies to enhance learning. This research presents the mobile device functions suitable for mobile learning and maps it to learning topics of Ontario's K-6 Numeracy Curriculum.
