There are one and a half billion cell phones in operation around the world, and a large percentage of them are in the hands of students. Yet these phones are barred in most classrooms because they interrupt lessons and can enable cheating. Marc Prensky encourages educators to reconsider their view of mobile technology - and to imagine a pedagogy that embraces its potential. Essentially small computers, cell phones can support language lessons, display animations of medical and chemical processes, be used for polling and testing, serve as the gateway to larger learning resources - and so much more. Prensky explores the possibilities and presents his vision of the new classroom, one in which mobile phones are a key learning tools (Prensky, 2003). Therefore, this paper examines the importance of m-learning and its effect and significance in today's educational settings at different levels. And that will discuss the following issues: defining m learning, m learning technology, m learning methods, m learning usefulness.

M-Learning: The Educational Use of Mobile Communication Devices2007 •
Today, students are growing up in a world very different from the world of their teachers or parents. Where and how to learn changes depending on the mode of learning and social networking, which becomes part of their daily lives. Open social media have significant potential to transform teaching and learning. Applications offer numerous ways for students to communicate, collaborate and connect with peers. The range of free educational resources and tools is growing rapidly. Cloud computing (content in the cloud) has made it possible to access free or low-cost applications that were once only available to those who were willing to pay a fee to use them. This paper presents mobile technology and applications, and their potential to improve learning in a wide range of education and training. This paper will address the following topics: mobile learning and creative classrooms, how mobile devices can enhance and improve learning and creativity, tools and technology in the classroom, practical use in education, applications that support work and learning at school and home, and the lack of applications in the Croatian language. 1. MOBILE LEARNING AND CREATIVE CLASSROOMS With the advent of the Internet, the teacher's role of teaching, and more precisely that of a teacher being a resource of information, is losing strength. Students using new technologies have the ability to independently search for information, and as a result the teacher settles into a role of advisor and mentor in the selection of content. One of the newest possibilities for learning that has appeared is "m learning" (learning through mobile phones). "M learning" is the use of applications (gadgets) to enhance and complete class work, and as a result the student quickly accesses information, knowledge and networking with other students. In most cases, students are equipped with better technological devices than teachers. Students quickly adopt new technology (such as new types of smartphones) and adapt to them easier than teachers do. For today's generation of students, traditional school is boring, slow and uninteresting, thus they want to be introduced to new teaching methods. "M learning" (learning) poses new challenges for the teacher. The teacher is the one who must educate himself and explore, and more than anything they need to have the technical knowledge and capabilities (such as a smart phone) to follow students throughout their development.

This is a position paper which explores the use of mobile communication devices in teaching and learning. We especially undertake a crosswalk around the fast evolving field of mobile learning with a view of positioning it as new paradigm for learning. We deduce that successful development and implementation of any mobile learning solution requires a deep understanding of the learning

In this paper, an overview is given about the research carried out in the area of mobile teaching and learning by Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, a member of the eMadrid Excellence Network. Mobile learning is raising growing expectations and is considered by some authors the next disruptive revolution in education. Cognitive and pedagogical theories supporting this prospect are reviewed. How these theories can be translated into meaningful educational practices is analysed by exploring ways of usage of mobile ...

At each step, the Internet and information technologies are changing many aspects of life. We live; we buy, work, manage and communicate new ways that technology has enabled. Information and communication technology are pervasive the technology of today. It finds application in every branch of industry, and in all areas of education and the basis for the successful operation of all social and state structures. Information and communication technology (ICT) provides a good foundation for creative and effective use of knowledge. Using mobile technology in education changes the basic view of learning when, where and how to learn. M-learning is a unique type of learning because students can access the lessons anytime, anywhere. Mobile learning is learning supported by mobile devices. It represents a new form of education. The notion of mobile learning covers a wide range of devices used for learning at any place at any time. These include various wired and wireless devices (mobile phones, PDA, iPod, Sony PSP, notebook devices ...). M-learning offers the possibility of using mobile devices combines many benefits of e-learning in a single portable package that can be used at any time and anywhere using mobile devices. Mobile devices are emerging as one of the most promising technologies to support learning as they offer new opportunities that do not offer static devices.

M-learning: Connecting Teaching and Learning Inside and Outside of School M-learning: conectando enseñanza y aprendizaje dentro y fuera de la escuela2021 •
The educational use of mobile devices, known as m-learning, is currently an alternative with great potential to address the crisis of the relevance of education as a social mechanism of the 21st century. To address this issue, a systematic literature review on m-learning was conducted, from which it was found that, depending on the use given to mobile devices, at least three types of learning experiences are generated. Additionally, we identified the main advantages of m-learning, its risks, fields of application, and current research focuses.
