Teaching learning in the new era of technology required us to combine all of them into a system that support us in collaborative learning. In this session I was taught about mobile learning how these technologies provide some applications which makes learning easier. According to Kukulska and Shield (2008) mobile learning is undergoing rapid evolution, it means that the mobile learning is always develop by the creator in order to design a system to fulfil learner’s need. They are some mobile learning that currently used such as mobile phones, PDA, IPod, Mp3 player. Many people said that those technology has many advantages one of them are portable but in the other hand we also know that technology also has many disadvantages for example make people individualistic, need a lot of cost to provide it and etc.
As a teacher we realized that we need that kind of technology but the most important thing is the content that we taught to them, how well we organized class and make them reach the learning objectivity. It means that our pedagogy and the technology must be balance and support each other. As a teacher you cannot always reliant to the technology, how about the teacher in the past or teacher in the isolated place, are they stop teaching because there are no technology provide them? No. you are the teacher it means you and your students are the centre of the learning process. But we lived in the world that always progress by the day so we have to increase our capability too. As we know with some of the technology we can combine some of the collaborative learning like speaking and listening, writing and multimedia or maybe with other major such us physic, biology and economic.
The most important thing in this session was I have to be a multi teacher, I mean the capability to mix between those kind of technology and the pedagogy approach.
