Abstract
The University of San Diego’s Mobile Technology Learning Center (MTLC) is honored to propose a session that includes its researchers and two of the top district superintendents in the field of mobile learning from the United States. Together these leaders and their districts represent a multi-dimensional cross-section of mobile learning in the United States. Their perspectives include two different regions of the US, two different size school districts and two different points along the mobile technology integration continuum. Their perspectives as mobile technology innovators will resonate with policy makers, implementers and researchers. Session participants will be able to engage these leaders as they provide an overview of their mobile learning programs covering various themes from building an initial mobile learning plan to managing and monitoring.. These policy leaders will be joined on the panel by researchers from the University of San Diego’s Mobile Technology Learning Center (MTLC) who will add their knowledge of emergent trends in mobile technology including the MTLC’s emergent theory of action, the Contextual Review.
