Many schools and classrooms all over are investing in mobile devices and educators want to know how to use them effectively, the apps to consider and more.

In previous posts I articulated some thoughts on how technology can (and should) be integrated into education. In an initial post I argued that technology use is not the same as technology integration. Ultimately, technology should be integrated into education so that learning can be transformed.

Technology, just like any other set of tools, is there to help us all to do the job better, smarter, more effectively. Just don''t ever make it appear to be special - the most effective educational technologies fade into the background as learning, and the student, take centre stage. As such we should make it mundane.
