1.1 Individual and Ubiquitous learning

1.1 Individual and Ubiquitous learning
Did you know ubiquitous learning is…. learning everywhere, anytime, anyplace, 24/7. Through computers and other mobile devices this expanding technology enables learning content to be available anywhere and all of the time (Ubiquitous learning, 2015).

Individuals can have content that is tailored to that persons interests, abilities and needs, when and where they need it.

Traditional methods of teaching that include planning and delivering content, will no longer just be sufficient. Teaching styles change to accommodate students’ individual needs and new technologies. Teachers/educators also need to have the skills and knowledge to teach, manage and be able to integrate these enabling technologies into an individual and ubiquitous learning platform, like Michael V. does (Ten Trends 2013: Ubiquitous learning, 2013). Students/learners require a device to learn, whether it be a personal computer, laptop, tablet or mobile phone with a connection to the internet. They are not constrained by time or traditional teaching methods or styles (Ubiquitous learning, 2015).

What!!! Does that mean.......as a student, you can make a playlist of your own schedule of learning? That’s so buzzy!
This video sums it up,(3 mins) - but veto the Aussie twist at the end. Please don’t be offended if you are indeed an Australian.  “21st Century Education”

The buzzy spin on this topic……You are conceivably a mobile encyclopaedia with the ability to seek information as you require it 24/7.
