Pointing out that mobile technology is already embedded in our lives, this report argues that mobile learning is not merely traditional teaching on small devices. "The interactivity of mobile technologies creates new teaching and learning opportunities more suited to a constructivist approach where the device is a tool for information and direction, but the structure of the learning is created by the learner." But the report also notes that "The difference in device between teacher and student is marked and reinforces the concerns expressed earlier in this report about the lack teacher preparedness for the digital world."
