 * Learning With Mobile Phones**

Mobile phones are being used on a daily basis by people nationwide. These devices are easily accessible and, unlike personal notebooks or other mobile devices, they are small and convenient to carry around. Mobile phones allow people to complete tasks and learn on the go as they participate in daily life. More and more institutions are utilizing mobile phones for instruction. Mobile phones allow users the ability to access numerous applications both on and offline. These applications can enhance learning in many subject areas and allow for direct sharing and immediate communication of thoughts and ideas with others. The applications within mobile phones allow for individualized instruction based on interest and skill level. The devices also increase student motivation and allow for students to learn both inside and outside of the learning institutions. Moreover, utilizing mobile devices keep students updated on the newest technologies they will have to master for future life and career use.
