mobile learning...is that what I need?

"People are desiring new things when they are moving to new technologies". This is my favorite part of Bill Rankins Mobile Learning presentation. It makes me think of myself. Technologies have changed over time, and I never imagined myself being part of those changes. We think technology and communication and social networks are difficult and complicated but they aren't. Technology is here to solve problems, make our lives easier, and to help us be less complicated and more accurate. But why are we needing to change constantly if technology is solving problems. Is it not enough?
Well, Bill Rankin says that what people have always wanted is to have the ability of carrying stuff with them and get to what they want ,when they want it, wherever they are and I take some time to reflect upon this, and guess what I came up with?! IT SO TRUE! I bought myself an Ipad, thinking it would be a very good tool for me to use in my afternoon classes. Believe me, I had no idea what I was getting into. I thought, simple and light. I got amazing and remarkable. I can do everything with it. I have downloaded tons of apps, educational and for entertainment. It has become my new best friend. It knows everything I don't. It helps me with everything I need. It has never let me down, maybe once, but it was my fault, I did not charge it and did not carry a charger with me. What I mean with all of this is that Rankin is right, mobile learning is necessary. Not only with children, but with adults. It does solve problems, it creates a new culture around the successful technology and it will also, eventually, create a new problem, mostly because what was new yesterday, today is old. But I don't care, I am ready for it, I have an Ipad and a lot of credit on my itunes store account. Bring it on!!!
