Blended learning , integrating face to face teaching by mobile applications can benefit learners in several ways. First, by using digital technology, teacher-learner and peer to peer interactions become available . Second, it provides a kind of serendipity learning because it creates various opportunities for self discovery. Last but not least, it provides a new style of learning whereby shy and introvert students can use their preferred style and have a more active participation.

Absolutely right dear Azhar Hameed Mankhi. Thank you so much for your cooperation.

Liqaa

Agree with Prof. Azhar

that

Mobile is an efficient educational and practical demonstration tool when used with higher education students.

If the participants can use it for the purpose for which it was intended it could have immense benefits being portable and flexible. If people (adolescents and adults) abuse it to check their Facebook likes, indulge in idle chats and in mischievous behaviors then that is detraction from the original purpose. You may think that adults are mature, self-regulating and sensible but that is not necessarily the case: some are addicted to technology and behave as badly as incorrigible children!

Helpful statement dear Prof Reza Biria. Thank you so much .

Thank you so much for sharing your valuable opinions dear colleagues

Yes I agree, but I don't think I have the skill required.

Quite right dear Prof Salam Hamid Abbas. I agree with you totally. We really need to develop ourselves in this domain before indulging in it.

Liqaa

Whatever we agree or not, digital media is forcing itself in every arena of life, our role is how to get the best from the pros of that, and get rid of the cons.

This applies to using mobile media in education, interesting researches about that are in progress.

I look to this use from two points:

The advantage and the disadvantage one

The advantage I think that using the mobile device in teaching helps in term of faster patients and teachers' communication and let the teaching especially for the children as smart as possible and helps them to develop their thinking and useful for their brain

On the other hand there are some disadvantages like allow the student to use it in illegal use like hackers and stealing the private information like exams' question

I highly appreciate your valuable comments. Thank you so much:

I think using mobile in the classroom is a useful educational tool.Students read wherever their mobile is..Carrying mobile is easier than than carrying notes and textbooks.

Right dear Azhar Hameed Mankhi. Thank you so much for your cooperation.

Liqaa

Hi

Yes i agree for using technology to learn example mobile.

Yes I agree

Like any other technology, cell phones enter the learning area. It's not good if they begin to use non-selective because it will be counterproductive. Students need to learn to think, and other methods and teaching aids are needed.

Thank you so much for sharing your valuable opinions dear colleagues.

Mobile use is an effective way to teach some but not all topics, and for specific disciplines, not for all disciplines .

Dear Dr. Ali Alhayany

No doubt its use is as a support in teaching. There is no such material that is taught completely via mobile phones. Thank you so much for your cooperation.

Using mobile media is good way for study but it depends on the student, teacher and place of study.

Yes we can get the advantage of it

AGREE

DE ACUERDO!

DE ACUERDO! what does this mean sir?

Appreciated opinions dear colleagues. Thank you so much for your cooperation.

i severely agree with the use of mobile or any other types of technology in teaching process providing that we use them in the right path and properly. we can download and save lots of pdf,audio,video and other types of books and files in our phones and assist ourselves to be updated. another advantage of mobiles is that they are friendly and easy to use.

Yes sure dear Dr Vahid Ghorbani. I agree with you totally.

Yes I agree

Dear me,

No doubt that technology plays a great role in the process of teaching and cell phone use is one of the modern innovations of teaching.we as teacher can make use of such device on certain occasion by using certain applications .Me doubtlessly agree with U.

Yes right Eman R. Adeeb. Thank you so much for your cooperation.

Liqaa

I agree, it will reduce the impact.

It has its advantages and disadvantages, so we should focus on that. I think after weighing its pros and cons we can finally decide.

Thanks a lot dear colleagues.

Yes I'm agree

I'am of the same opinion as Dr. Azhar Hameed Mankhi

There is a piece by Russell (April 2018):

Mobile phones in the classroom – what does the research say?

https://www.teachermagazine.com.au/articles/mobile-phones-in-the-classroom-what-does-the-research-say

Which is certainly worth reading with regard to this.

My personal opinion - yes I agree with the use of mobile devices in classrooms but am minded that they can be a distraction both in terms of learner focus and also, even when used correctly, they can detract from the skills /information /knowledge being learnt.

Technology advances although some experience technostress:

Appreciated opinions dear colleagues. Thank you so much for your cooperation.

Liqaa

I totally go along. In modernity, everything has been changed and of course, education in general has followed a new style and new methods. Visual aid, Audible aid, and Technology have its own influential characteristics on the process of learning. Teachers and Students here should be collaborated in order to achieve the main goal.

I totally agree

Thank you so much for sharing your valuable opinions dear colleagues.

Liqaa

I agree

Thank you so much for your cooperation Mala Babagana Gutti.

You are always welcomed

Thank you.

Thank you

Many students are spending a lot of time on their smart phones and they are very efficient in using their applications.I think it worth a try to deliver a part of the learning material through the applications of smartphones .I find it difficult to tell what are the benefist and hazards unless confirmed by research results and feedback.

Best regards.

of course

Yes I agree

Merits

1. They provide additional aid in graphics, animations and videos for emphasis and discernment to audiences.

2. They Increase speed in lecture delivery and simplify ideas.

3. They increase attentiveness if properly done and sequentially ordered.

Demerits

1. Sometimes make the lecture boring and may promote sleeping.

2. They promote lazy way of teaching.

3. Poorly prepared PPTs for instance, are sometimes irritate and destruct to audiences.

4. May render the presenter jittery or useless during intermittent power cuts or completely cut out.

They make the lesson real and secure/sustain students' attention in class.

I agree with you totally dear Dr Ali Almothaffar. Thank you so much for sharing your valuable opinion.

Liqaa

Thanks a lot dear colleagues for your cooperation.

Liqaa

Yes

I am fully in support. It is like using what the student love most to pass across the needful. It is however to be used to complement the conventional learning system.

As the process of learning is changing throughout the years.

Similary, its modalities have to be modified accordingly.

I ,personaly, belevied that merging both old modalities with the new ones is fundamental for both students and teachers

Thanks a lot dear colleagues for your cooperation.

Liqaa

Yes, but to some extent.

Thanks a lot Mala Babagana Gutti.

yes, I agree

Thank you so much Ali Jameel Al-Ali.

I agree with Ali Almothaffar.

Off course we should use mobile if needed as we are advancing towards technological era

Of course we can use ... thanks for the discussio. Much appreciated Liqaa Habeb

Thank you so much dear respected researchers.

Yes, I do. Mobile media connects digital persons for sharing knowledge and experience purposes in education.

Dear Faeza Salih

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much dear colleague.

As with any other technical development there are backsides especially if misused, but the advantages are more numerous. Bearing in mind the unlimited access to teaching materials from any place at any given time,i must say that mobile phones have become an indispensable teaching tool.

Yes I agree with you Lazar Vukadinovic. Thanks for your cooperation.

i always used to give lectures in the classical sense. Because the lively lecture, which sometimes also takes spontaneous thoughts into account, is more education-friendly than any power point representation.

You are right dear Hein Retter. It may suite some contexts not all for sure. Thanks a lot for your cooperation.

I agree! They are portable, easy to carry around, and most students nowadays enjoy using them. It is an enjoyable and motivational way of learning. However, it should be integrated with other ways of learning as well. Depending totally on mobile media in teaching may has negative impact on achieving inteded learning outcomes related to practical and psychomotor skills.

Helpful reply Hassan Izzeddin Sarsak. Thank you.

Do you agree or disagree with the use of mobile media in teaching ? Are there any side effects?

Mobile media in teaching can be encouraged as long as it serves the learning objective / promote learning / reduce total cost of learning minus off the negative effects e.g. distraction to concentration, disruption to others' learning in class room-based environment etc.

Appreciated opinion dear Han Ping Fung. Thank you so much.

Dear Dr. liqaa

Yes,with agree.

Liqaa Habeb Al-Obaydi

Yes, but a major point should be consider, utilising mobile media in teaching and learning has witnessed many issues such as, the technical imbalance, and students’ use of it for non-study purposes.

Thank you so much dear colleagues for your cooperation.

I only agree with "Mobile Blended Learning".

Liqaa Habeb Al-Obaydi

For today’s EFL learners whose milieu is replete with electronic, visual, and digital materials, the integration of the pertinent multimedia resources such as embedded videos, audio tracks and still visual images can facilitate learning processes. Clearly, the use of such multimodal materials are of great importance because they not only provide an opportunity for different learners with various learning styles to choose a way of learning that most suit them, but also serve as a strong motivating factor for learners and make the language learning process more enjoyable. Moreover, the use of multimedia resources that are accompanied with a given text provides learner with a greater deal of language input. Besides, I hope you find the link below of interest.

Thanks a lot dear colleagues for sharing your valuable opinions.

Definitely we might find side effects. But there are side effects in every thing. So, the studies showed that teaching via mobile is effective and we should build on those ones.For the side effects, we can study how to avoid them.

Usage of mobile media can be an effective tool for andragogy which is adult focus teaching and learning. Because, most adult learners come from life experience, not from academic experience. On the other hand, some other adult learners may come back to studies a long time after. In that sense, I recommend using mobile media to flourish their thought processes and blend their learning with life experience. I practically use such methods for adult learners.

However, I do not encourage anyone to use such media for minors who can limit their thought processes. Nevertheless, we can allow them to use such media for research purposes that collect information for better understandings.
