Summary

M-Learning is a new learning paradigm of the new social structure with mobile and wireless technologies.
Smart school is one of the four flagship applications for Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) under
Malaysian government initiative to improve education standard in the country. With the advances of
mobile devices technologies, mobile learning could help the government in realizing the initiative. This
paper discusses the prospect of implementing mobile learning for primary school students. It indicates
significant and challenges and analysis of user perceptions on potential mobile applications through a
survey done in primary school context. The authors propose the m-Learning for mathematics by allowing
the extension of technology in the traditional classroom in term of learning and teaching. (Abstract by authors)

Summary

The public and educational communities are aware of the continuing crisis in math education in our middle schools and the convergence of technologies for teaching and learning. This paper presents a case study in which iPod Touch® was used to help middle school students learn about algebraic equations and, in particular, the concept of slope, absolute value, and elimination. The development of math movies for use on the iPod Touch provided students with a mobile means of informal math learning beyond the hours of the classroom. While the study explored the use of mobile devices in an eighth grade math classroom, the lessons learned are invaluable to those seeking to implement mobile technologies to support teaching and learning with typical software, such as iMovie, PowerPoint, and iTunes.
