Children within Mobile Technology: Interacting and Learning

Abstract

This article analyses the research question of how learners utilize hand-held mobile technology for learning of children. Mobile technology is an „anywhere, anytime”, creative learning tool that has the potential to support the development of self-regulated learners. The article examines user defined utilization of the mobile technology in elementary education settings: a comprehensive examination of the integration of digital mobile technology in an elementary school. Specific student use, independent of prescribed teacher use, is considered in examining the self-regulated learning supported by the mobile technology.
