The Potential of Mobile Technologies to Connect Teaching and Learning Inside and Outside of the Classroom

Wireless mobile technologies are integrated parts of our lives, except in the area of formal education. However, portable and connected digital tools provide opportunities to connect learning in the classroom with learning beyond the spatial and temporal boundaries of educational institutions. This chapter provides examples of how this connection can be made and what changes schools should consider to make learning a truly boundary-free experience.
