Conclusions
• Educators are beginning to see potential of m-Learning. • Quality and quantity of options expands learning
possibilities. • Views of Policymakers/Public/Media on m-Learning are critical. • Conversations at local level. • Federal (in the U.S.), state/provincial goals, policies,
and programs provide an important catalyst or inhibitor.

Recommendations
• Rethink Acceptable Use Policies
• Use mobile technologies to support an instructional paradigm shift
• Ensure 24/7 access– outside school is critical
• Job-embedded, relevant PD for teachers
