    Thanks for sharing this information Miems. Darrell M. West says: "Mobile Learning [is]Transforming Education, Engaging Students, and Improving [Learning] Outcomes".
    Developing the Kahoot! and interacting with it was really fun. Just imagine how much fun our students will have. Excellent mobile tool to utilize with individual students and within groups. Students should be informed that there is much more value to using their smart phones than just social interaction.
    Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks Miems for sharing on these 3 mobile learning apps. For a long time we regarded m-learning as some kind of hype. Now we know it is part of the answer we have been looking for to make BL accessible and affordable to our students and educators. Thanks for being such an asset to this CoP. Well done!
