Mobile Learning
People increasingly expect to be connected to the Internet and the rich tapestry of knowledge it contains wherever they go. Mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets, enable users to do just that via cellular networks and wireless power. The growing number of mobile subscribers, coupled with the unprecedented evolution of these devices, has opened the door to myriad uses for education. Learning institutions all over the world are exploring ways to make their websites, educational materials, resources, and opportunities all available online and optimized for mobile devices.

When trying to take a classroom of kids into 21st century learning, you don't necessarily have to throw out lessons that have worked in the past. What you will need to do is determine how to line your lesson plans up with the ISTE Standards for Students. By revising and implementing mobile apps into your lesson plans you can achieve this.
In the lesson plan below you will first find the geometry plan that I have used in the past. The students went on a Geometry Scavenger Hunt afterwards using pencils and paper. Continue through the document and you will find the revisions to that same plan. With the revisions (in the second lesson plans, noted by red text) you will see that not only is the review using Kahoot!, but the students will use mobile devices and apps to make videos. The same Georgia math standards are covered, but now ISTE standards are as well.
