Abstract

Today there is widespread ownership of mobile technology, including mobile phones, tablets, Chromebooks, among school-aged youth. To wit, researchers report that nearly 70% of 8- to 18-year-olds own their own mobile device. In parallel with increased accessibility and usage, researchers in various fields of education have begun to explore how mobile technology can impact teaching and learning. In this chapter, the work of pioneering scholars in the area of emerging technology in K-12 education are discussed. Next, a description is provided of the current scientific knowledge on the ways in which mobile technologies are used by students in K-12 education. Then, important research is reviewed that highlights the added effects of mobile technology to support non-traditional learners. Lastly, recommendations for future lines of investigation and further reading are discussed.
