For example, instead of using mobile technology to teach students how to research, educators must teach them how to use mobile devices to acquire, analyze, and synthesize information. Activities like having students take pictures of their vocabulary or spelling words as they come across them in their daily lives help contextualize and draw connections between home and school. Or, extend an astronomy lesson by showing students how to use StarWalk or a related app to identify and observe the differences between stars and planets at night.
