and have the other
partner grade the
other student as
they write using the
app. Then have the
students keep a

Analyze, understand
Students will have to
examine and
distinguish the
information that the
apps provides to them
and use that
information to write
and practice their
cursive. They will
then analyze their
fellow peer on the
correctness, or what
they must work on
when it comes to their
handwriting and
cursive skills.

Analyze, understand
Students will have to
understand how they
write best and
compile a list of items
the app they chose
must have. Then they
must analyze multiple
apps and find, which
one is best.

This specific app will

allow students to
analyze how they are
doing each time they
use the mobile app and
way of learning. They
will be able to compare
their checklists at the
end of the year and se
their growth and what
they have improved on.

Students will first

spend time learning
about the specific
type of cursive
letters or
handwriting that
was taught in class.
Then they will use
the app to work on
what was learned.
Then students will
finally end by
creating a checklist
after being analyzed
by their fellow peer.

This mobile app will

allow students to
work on their
cursive and
handwriting outside
of the classroom .

Only after students

understand what
each app supplies,
will they be able to
pick the app they
think is best and
write their research
paper over it.

the writing of the
research paper are
methods that can be

that allows students
to gain the
information they need
about a certain iconic
location in the United
States and the travel
plan it would take to
get there. They will
have to evaluate what
important landmarks
they will see along the
way.

Students will have to

constructively analyze
their ability to
remember aspects
about geography, as
well as personally
decide if they need to
spend more time
practicing geography,
in order to become an
expert in the landmarks
and geographical
locations that were
apart of their travel log.

Outside of
classroom time,
students will have
the ability to use the
maps at home, or
whenever they feel
like practicing
certain aspects of
geography, and
commit it to
memory.

Reflection: Overall this matrix allowed me to view the positive role mobile learning would have within a classroom. They will only
begin to push the boundaries of what can be taught and the methods of which information can be displayed. This matrix also
allowed me to view the endless possibilities that these digital tools can provide with in a classroom and allowed me to view the
integration of them within the classroom as both an important and diverse field for teachers to incorporate within their
classrooms. The multitude of options for subjects, as well as different methods for organizing, using different learning methods,
or using a flipped classroom learning are some of the ways that mobile learning can allow students and teachers endless
opportunities to further students learning and expand their understanding process. I realized how this change up, and integration
of technology would allow students a diverse learning environment. Mobile learning would also be easy to combine, or add to a
class website which in turn allows for parents and family members to glimpse into the learning within the classroom and become
an active encourager and provider of further knowledge in the ideas and lessons discussed. This matrix also forced me to
consider students and individuals with learning disabilities, as well as gifted/talented students. Often times it is easy to forget
about these individuals within the classroom and I truly see the significance of these digital tools as they allow students to delve
deeper into understanding and better comprehend how to diversely learn within each setting. I know though that through this
matrix I have only scratched the surface of what mobile learning can provide for the educational system and look forward to
delving deeper into this topic and discovering other useful tips and ways in which to become a more effective teacher for each
and every student.
