My work and the findings I will share with you today i are grounded in empirical data collected from many schools and colleges across and beyond the UK. Here is a selection which includes 8 schools in Scotland where we evaluated the first national pilot for iPads 1. Malcys college, Belfast 2. Bedford Girls School 3. Rotherham? 4. Scotland schools - - 6 5. Edinburgh schools - 4 6. N.E Linc schools (iPods)

Why ‘learning in a mobile age?’

Slide 4: Why Learning in a Mobile Age?

• We are in the midst of a new information revolution, every bit as powerful and dramatic as the previous information revolution (the book) which radically altered how knowledge was produced, how it was shared and how it was valued.

• Mobile technologies are central to this phenomenon in a manner which is not yet fully played out or understood but likely to be pervasive across all aspects of social life, including education

• Press to second picture: We take our mobile devices for granted today, like an extension or augmentation of our own bodies (‘digital prosthetics’) - • Press to third and fourth pictures: see this in pictures of the Pope's election (2005: Benedict XVI; .v. 2013, Pope Francis) - note it is not only the quantity

of technology but what people are doing with them (capturing and sharing data) • Press to picture five: This has led to many unexpected and unanticipated impacts including the phenomenon of always being connected; new forms of

collaboration and social discourse (pictures of 1950s commuters and the same today on the Tube) • Certainly across the developed world we have passed the tipping point where these devices are virtually ubiquitous and although most users do not

consider these to be primarily learning technologies, considerable volumes of learning now occurs with and through the device, both intentional (e.g. a visit to a museum on a school trip) but much of it informal or emergent in what might be termed the Third Space (my personal site of interest) - stealth learning

Part I:The evidence base for mobile technologies

Slide 6: So what has research discovered about this phenomenon to date ( remembering the iPad only appeared in 2010 - less than five years of evidence available)

Slide 7: Generic findings about technology:

• No technology has an impact on learning in its own right; impact depends on how it is used (Clark and Luckin, 2013) • Rather than categorising innovations by the type of technology used (e.g, do games help learning?), it’s more useful to think about the types of learning activities we know to be effective

Phase I: Exploratory Studies

Pre-iPad mobile learning (pre-2010)

Slide 9: • First phase research pre-dated the iPad and stretched back to the introduction of Smart phones and their predecessors, devices like the iPAQ which

predates the iPodTouch (2008 • Although some may look similar these devices are not the same as the current ‘Post-PC technologies’ like the iPad (what distinguishes them?)

• Previous devices had no mobile OS – cut down version of full OS • High definition touch sensitive screens (not pens) • Back-up by well provisioned apps market • Broader range of connectivity options including 3G/4G; Bluetooth, wi-fi

Mudlarking in Deptford A new kind of guided tour that empowers 11-14 year-oldstudents to interact with the environment and other peoplethrough the innovative use of mobile technology

Early research studies in mobile learning

Slide 10: In terms of the research undertaken around these devices many of them featured small-scale case studies demonstrating the potential and promise of untethered computer use (Traxler) even though the full potential was some way from being recognised (illustrate with a good example – e.g. Savannah (Futurelab 2004) Mudlarking in Deptford; eScape project (QCA) used the iPAQ etc • Contextualised learning – context sensitive data (students moved around the location tracked by GPS) • Portability and flexibility • Pervasive learning – 1:1 with learners • Potential for collaborative learning (limited by connectivity) Note: a lot of the research from this period featured designed projects where learners had only sporadic access to the device itself ( the notion of 1:1 was some way off)

Also many projects focused on the learning which was possible in informal spaces outside of formal education (e.g. Museums, field trips) - although Internet was rarely available this phase of research did demonstrate important lesson for us today, some of which have been forgotten or even lost in the drive to 1:1 classroom based provision (more detail needed here)

Learning with IOS (post 2008)

Slide 11: In 2008 came the iPodTouch which was in many ways a game changer which has been forgotten today with the focus on tablet devices like the iPads (illustrate with evidence from Victoria study and my own study in N.E. Lincolnshire) • Cheaper enough to explore 1:1 provision and ownership models • Powerful enough to undertake creative work and production which was hitherto impossible on previous devices • Robust and reliable (unlike many of the iPAQ trials) to the extent schools started to consider them for class sets and work both inside and outside the

school Good examples include Victoria State education Department - see report And my own work evaluating the use of use iPod in six schools across North East Lincolnshire

The iPad era (post 2010)

Slide 13:

in 2010 the 1st generation iPad appeared and despite not having a camera in this iteration, this really was a game-changer particularly in its use as a school-based learning technology and an alternative to the tethered, orthodoxy of computer laboratories, or even the laptop First phase of research into iPads (still very exploratory)

Other iPad studies

Slide 15: Heinrich (2012), Longfield Academy, Kent:

• Students also identified things that could not be done before: easy and instant access to the Internet; use iBooks; access translation tools; routine access to tools that support reflection like mindmapping apps and annotation tools

• Noticeable that the students wanted to go further than their teachers (i.e. to use the iPad to replace pen, paper and books; to take notes, make music, do online research to access the VLE

Part II: Frameworks to conceptualise

the pedagogical impact of mobile technologies

S.A.M.R

Slide 17:

So what does this mean in terms of understanding the phenomenon? (using the SAMR model as a frame)

1. the SAMR model explained briefly offers a model of thinking about the impact of technologies in education in terms of change - i.e do technologies support the existing ways of learning/teaching (under the dotted line) or do they challenge and replace them with new approaches (above the line) - this is, of course, somewhat subjective but in broad terms it offers a useful way of thinking about the educational impact of a new technology from a pedagogical perspective (illustrate simple example: interactive whiteboards have not significantly challenge existing approaches to teaching or learning ( in deed some would argue they have reinforced more traditional didactic approaches); books on the other hand (often not considered a technology) have revolutionised approaches to learning, making it more personal, individual, • many examples of how iPads are used to enhance and support existing patterns or approaches to learning - fewer examples of where they challenge

and transform it

Slide 18: Survey of 200 educators world-wide. Asked to describe how they were using mobile technologies in classrooms. When we matched this to our framework we discovered that: • teachers considered they were making considerable use of the authenticity aspects of mobiles • however they were less certain about how to take advantage of the online networked communication opportunities, and surprisingly the agency aspect

(i.e. giving students more agency)

Personalisation

Personalisation 1. In 1:1 projects individualised ownership is a very important feature linked to learning (enables learners to customise and grow closer to their device) – major finding in Scotland 2. Closely linked to agency 3. Even in models that are not 1:1 ownership and taking device home proved important (e.g. Norwegian study by Gasparini, 2012 where students shared taking the device home but could add apps and customise them – JOSH story – installed text-to-speech apps helped him with reading difficulties – very unlikely to have done this himself on a fixed PC 4. NB: where personalisation is encouraged the iPad can be customised to be highly individualised 5. Personalisation also relates to choice: pupils given many more choices about how to undertake a task (e.g. what apps to use) and how they wish to be assessed (e.g. Sciennes and Waltham school) – again this would not be as likely on a PC 6. Means the iPad can support different forms of personalisation even when the iPad is shared by groups in a class (does require a sympathetic teacher)

What does the research say about personalisation?

•mobiles can support greater personalisation of learning by increasing student agency and choice

•mobiles can support greater personalisation of learning by becoming more adaptive to individual learner’s habits of learning (customisation)

Learning through exploring

Learning through inquiry

Learning through practising

Learning from assessment

Learning in and across settings

Slide 34:

Return to work of Luckin, et al and start to think about the types of learning we might want students to engage with in the future and then how the iPad might support this? (ask participants to take this away and think about it) • learning from experts - example of artist in residence in Sciennes who could not attend school but supported students through Skype and virtual

exhibitions • learning through making: production of animations and videos to convey complex understanding and ideas (e.g. • learning through inquiry - flipped classroom example with FIPS classes • learning across settings: i.e. taking learning from one context (classroom) and applying it another (e.g. the home) - seen often with the iPad in Scotland

(acts as a mediating object) - life logs also an examples (captures moments in a day usin mobile phone - images; writing notes and locations) - allow users to review these later and

Mobilising and Transforming Teacher Education Pedagogies

€450,000 (2014-2017)

Last year we provided half of our pre-service trainee teachers with iPads (this year the other half). If we are to achieve any of this we need to consider carefully the CPD opportunities we provide for existing teachers and, critically, how we inculcate and educate the next generation of teachers into this mobile learning culture so they are in the vanguard of change. • At my own university we have done this over the past two years by providing students with an iPad for their 1 year course (over 300 now) • interesting that when we surveyed them at the start of the course how few already used a PC device compared to a portable one • this European funded project is an attempt to build a network and set of resources to help teacher educators introduce and support their students in the

use of mobile technology • increasingly in the UK this is a function of schools and universities since ITE is increasingly a shared responsibility • therefore we are looking at schools and other partners involved in the process of ITE or CPD in joining the network, acting as pilots to test the resources

and attend the workshops/training events

European Mobile Learning Network for Educators

We aim to establish a European wide mobile learning network for teacher educators

Mobile Learning Toolkit

Toolkit = • evaluation tool or app to help you gauge the extent to which teachers and students are using the affordances of mobile devices (based on the CAP

survey) • a tool for teachers to identify and share pedagogical value of apps • a series of video case studies and vignettes explain how to support teacher educators

Reconceptualising the textbook

One of our ambitions is to demonstrate how students and teachers can make their own ‘textbooks’ and how this alters the dynamics and relationships between students and teachers as students become co-constructors and authors of knowledge

This is one of the main ideas we want to explore since we have already found this to be a significant lever for pedagogical change (e.g. the science and english department project with students in Norway)

Conclusions

Conclusion

We are not yet at the stage where learning with the iPad is ‘invisible’ in the sense that users do not even consider themselves to be using a technology, but we have already passed this phase in non-formal contexts outside of school. Young people do not even consider their mobile devices to be technologies and in one sense this is the goal we have to seek in schools to the extent that learners don’t even see the technology, they just see the learning. We are still some way from this and over the next five years or so it will be important for researchers like myself and educators like you to work more closely together not only to identify what works (we know a lot of the answers for that already) but why it works (i.e. the mechanisms) and under what circumstances it works most effectively. This will enable us scale and sustain these wonderful case studies we have seen today in sun a way that we promote genuine and meaningful transformation of pedagogies rather than simply replicating and sustaining what is increasingly look like an outdated and out of tune model of education .

• We know what works but not why it works

• We know what works but not why it works

• We need to better understand the unique ‘affordances’ of mobile technologies in order to leverage higher order thinking skills

• We need to better understand the unique ‘affordances’ of mobile technologies in order to leverage higher order thinking skills

• Thinking of teaching as a design based science may help to identify how these affordances are translated into learning scenarios
