  • After reading the article about the use of mobile phones in learning and how it is spreading like bush fire among our 21st century learners, I have been convinced that our teaching must be tailored to the way our learners can understand. Even though it is still a gimmick in our secondary schools for any learner to carry and use a mobile phone in class, elsewhere in fieldwork or at the University-learners get destructed as a tutor is giving instructions. Some of them put head-sets on the ears and at the same time do Facebook or watsapp amidst a lesson. The instructor in that case becomes irrelevant to the learner.
    Secondly, some learners research ahead of the tutor on a given topic under study and so, a lesson requires the teacher adequate preparation time or else his position of an initiator and a guide to the lesson becomes irrelevant.
