Mobile technologies are one of the fastest growing areas of
technology in education. For learners, they offer an appealing
opportunity to transcend teacher-defined knowledge and approaches
by being able to access multiple, alternative sources of
information anytime and anywhere. While the pace of engagement with
and research into the educational applications of mobile
technologies has picked up dramatically in the last decade, there
is no consolidated view of how to sustain the practices or
opportunities that are being explored. Sustainability is a complex
but crucial issue in mobile learning as educational institutions
are usually required to make substantial investments in mobile
devices and associated technologies, time and training to initiate
mobile learning programs. The complexity of sustainable mobile
learning programs is further exacerbated by the fast pace of change
of digital technologies, where with every change, new possibilities
are opened up and investments required. In addition, educators are
still attempting to reconcile institutions of formal education with
informal mobile learning. The book addresses these issues, with a
particular focus on: exploring the challenges surrounding the
sustainability of mobile learning in K-12 and higher education
investigating the importance of sustaining mobile learning for
diverse populations of students globally discussing theoretical
models for the sustainability of mobile learning providing the
reader with strategies for sustaining mobile learning. Presenting
new research alongside theoretical models and ideas for practice,
the book will appeal to researchers, academics, and postgraduate
students in the fields of education and mobile learning, as well as
those working in teacher education.

This book addresses the issues confronting educators in the
integration of digital technologies into their teaching and their
students’ learning. Such issues include a skepticism of the added
value of technology to educational learning outcomes, the
perception of the requirement to keep up with the fast pace of
technological innovation, a lack of knowledge of affordable
educational digital tools and a lack of understanding of
pedagogical strategies to embrace digital technologies in their
teaching. This book presents theoretical perspectives of
learning and teaching today’s digital students with technology
and propose a pragmatic and sustainable framework for
teachers’ professional learning to embed digital technologies
into their repertoire of teaching strategies in a systematic,
coherent and comfortable manner so that technology integration
becomes an almost effortless pedagogy in their day-to-day
teaching.  The materials in this book
are comprised of original and innovative contributions,
including empirical data, to existing scholarship in this field.
Examples of pedagogical possibilities that are both new and
currently practised across a range of teaching contexts are
featured. ​ Â

We live in a society largely driven by science and technology. As
more scientific and technological issues dominate public debates at
national and international levels, it is important to ensure that
our students become global citizens who are scientifically
literate. However, many students have poor attitudes and low
engagement levels toward the learning of science. This book puts
forward an argument that we should capitalise on the affordances
that digital technologies offer in enabling better science
learning, the general technological interest and knowledge of young
people and the motivating influence of technology for learning, to
foster the development of scientific literacy in students.
