With key topics including cyberbullying, social media, sustainability and ethics, each chapter takes an in-depth look at the use of personal technology in formal learning situations. Clear, supportive text is richly illustrated by vignettes from a variety of international case studies and projected future scenarios, as well as practical tasks to try out in class. A helpful guide to assessing mobile learning is also included, examining the challenges involved in capturing and recording creative work, both inside and outside the classroom.
