Using mobile devices in educational settings as learning and community building tools can promote interpersonal communication, encourage young people to positively express their individuality and build their student-to-student, student-to-educator relationships.  In this webinar Dr. Jackie Gerstein shows why experiential mobile learning is valuable and how to do it right.  She focuses on the two guiding principles of successful experiential mobile learning: building a sense of community in the classroom to help address the whole learner including achievement and academic success, and how to use the mobile devices that have become natural extensions of young people throughout the world to advance learning.  This webinar describes learning activities that incorporate technologies that students currently use including cell phones, social networking, laptops, blogs and digital cameras.
