2013 – 2014: 1st Grade Class

At Pinevale, Dr.Kim, Dr. Hsiao, Dr. Tsemunhu, and Dr. Dees used iPads to work with students in a first grade classroom. They taught students individually or in small groups, assisting them with foundational reading skills and explaining concepts that were unfamiliar. The students were thrilled to have the opportunity to learn more from “VSU teachers” and greatly benefited from their patient help. The classroom teacher appreciated the notes they took about each child’s performance and their flexibility in using a variety of appropriate apps to differentiate instruction.

Mobile Language Learning Experiences: A Mixed Methods Case Study (2014 -2015 )

In January 2014, we invited students from a Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) program to participate in the study. .. These students came from various countries around the world and had varied experience as language teachers at different levels of education.

“Three critical and practical recommendations for effective mobile learning experiences were scrutinized for design and implementation of M- learning: 1) effective instructional strategies, 2) training or professional workshop development, and 3) ongoing technical support and assistance” 4-

In the 1990s, Heinich, Molenda, Russell, and Smaldino introduced the ASSURE model to guide teachers in how to plan and deliver lessons that effectively integrate technology, media, and materials into classroom teaching. 1) Analyze learners; 2) State standards and objectives; 3) Select strategies, technology, media, and materials; 4) Utilize technology, media, and materials; 5) Require learner participation, and 6) Evaluate and revise (Smaldino, Lowther, Russell, & Mims, 2015).
