7.3 3 – new things and old ways – will old tactics work with mobile technologies? 9 years, 5 months ago 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.

Sulaiman,
This is the greatest of problems we faced in the teaching and learning process. To me any thing that distracts attention among learners is what i may refer to as problem behavior. These are issues as referred to in our task 3. The question is managing these issues.
Thank you Stephen
It should not worry a teacher that the student has read ahead! That should be encouraged.
