Mobile Devices and Learning Platforms

Our school has been using an e-learning platform now for 2 years. I have a bit more experience of several platforms but what has always bugged me is that at comprehensive school we use them as something extra, “I’ll use it with students if we have time…”, is a reoccurring comment that I hear way too often. I think that one of the problems is that teachers feel that e-platforms are very static and time consuming. Teachers very often claim that they need at least a computer lab, desktops for all the students, to be able to even use Fronter or Moodle. I disagree.. one needs only one but four plus teacher’s would be ideal. Students should be working in teams that do multiple projects and different tasks, so that the teacher has time to instruct and teach all the students.
