Today finding time to learn is hard to fit into busy schedules. Students have full-time jobs and many responsibilities that include spouses and children.
So when do you have time to learn a new language, to learn how to use a new tool, or learn how to build a garden greenhouse? With new mobile technology 'mobile learning' has the possibility to become not only 'learning-on the-go' but also 'just-in-time learning'.
Why not grab your Blackberry handheld device and bring up online learning to help you build that greenhouse with the plans right right in the palm of your hand?
Suddenly find yourself in Japan for a conference and need to learn a few words of survival Japanese? Why not grab your mobile device and listen to a podcast right from your earbuds?
Learning today doesn’t stop when you leave school, lifelong learning is becoming a household word. We need to learn new skills every time we turn around. And with a mobile device and new technology we can listen to podcasts to learn a new language, such as Japanese or Spanish while we fly or drive.
We can watch Powerpoint presentations with charts and graphs right from our mobile devices, we don’t have to be in a classroom for to find out what we need to know. New technology, like Impatica, has been developed to make learning easy and sometimes we don’t even think we are learning--we just think it's fun!
