Intro
Mobile Learning Myths:
• Mobile devices have screens too small to allow for learning.Mobile devices are unsuitable for learning as they are a distraction.Mobile learning is just ‘learning on the move’. (more at http://bit.ly/mobilelearninginfokit)
"Students respond to requests to shut off their phones with a sense of panic, a feeling that they will be cut off from their world of personal relationships. This feeling, taken to its extreme, has been dubbed "nomophobia," the fear of being forced to shut off a phone, or the obsessive worry of losing a phone. There is even a support Web site for nomophobics."
(Woodill, 2011, p.150)
