- W2601068701 abstract "As any college professor will attest, mobile phones are ubiquitous on college campuses. Although many students have access to this technology in their purses and pockets, hands-on accessibility to technology does not guarantee digital literacy. There are two levels of a digital divide: a first level as a divide in access to hardware, software, and broadband Internet connections and a second level as a divide in knowledge in digital literacy on how to use this technology (Caverly, Peterson, Delaney, & Starks-Martin, 2009). In this year's Techtalk columns we will address mobile phones. In the next column, we'll address reducing these divides through digital storytelling. In the final column, we'll explore building higher digital literacy through Cloud computing, (i.e. storing files on an external server).Mobile LearningMorgan Stanley (2008) reports 60% of the world's population has access to a mobile phone, though this is somewhat misleading as there are more mobile phones in Italy than there are people (Wikipedia Foundation Inc., 2009b). Mobile phones have replaced desktop or laptop computers as the primary means of wireless Internet access for English-speaking Hispanics (68%) and African Americans (65%) in the U.S., far outpacing Whites (33%), many of whom choose to use laptops (Horrigan, 2009). Anderson and Rainie (2008) project by 2020 mobile phones will be the primary connection device for the Internet.Despite the increasing hands-on accessibility of these powerful mobile devices, most college professors dissuade their use and consider them to be distractions. Students' phones are often collected before a test, and often students are removed from class if they are googling a term used by the professor. This disconnect between out-of-school literacy skills (i.e., critical literacy skills; Pawan & Honeyford, 2009) and in-school literacy tasks (i.e., academic literacy) has generated reports of boredom and low motivation among many students (Prensky, 2009).However, in classrooms that include a blending of critical literacy skills with academic literacy tasks, a different picture emerged. For example, Thortan and Houser (as cited in Zhang, 2008) found 71% of Japanese college students preferred the use of text messages to e-mail and 93% saw value in receiving English lessons sent to their mobile phones. Misono and Akahori (2008) reported that using text messaging with a secret word provided during class was an efficient means of taking attendance in a large lecture hall. Hartnell-Young and Heym (2008) demonstrated effective uses with secondary school students completing social-constructivist learning projects in which mobile phones were used for timing experiments, sharing files, photographing scientific apparati, conversing via text message, syncing calendars, creating narrative movies, using the Global Positioning System (GPS) to identify locations, and transferring files from home to school. Uffendell, Hefferen, and Finnigan (2009) found three uses of mobile phones effective for college students with disabilities. A mobile phone's GPS with speech aided students' mobility, text messaging with speech improved the delivery of messages from the college, and the Mobile Daisy Player (V. 2.2; codefactory, 2009) read e-books to students.Repurposing Mobile PhonesAs more students acquire 3G (third generation, Internet capable) phones, more applications to developmental education will emerge. In the meantime, GPS capabilities in 3G mobile phones can facilitate a campus orientation through a mobile WebQuest (Bottentuit, Coutinho, & Sternaldt, 2006). Students could be asked to explore the support programs on campus, create scenarios when a student would need these supports, and send their assignment as an attachment to a text message. Basic text messaging capabilities could be used to ask students to reflect on what they are learning. Text messages could act as exit slips, comments providing feedback for the instructor. …" @default.
