Abstract
Today there is widespread ownership of mobile technology, including mobile phones among school-aged youth. To wit, researchers report that nearly 70 percent of 8- to 18-year-olds own a mobile phone. In parallel with increased accessibility and usage, researchers in various fields of education have begun to explore how mobile phones can impact teaching and learning. In this article, the authors discuss the work of pioneering scholars in the area of emerging technology in K-12 education. Next, the authors describe the current scientific knowledge on the ways in which mobile phones are used for students in K-12 classroom settings. The authors then review important research that highlights the added effects of mobile phones to support students with disabilities. Recommendations for future lines of investigation and further reading are provided.
