+Overview of MTLC
Research & Evaluation Mobile Readiness
Technology & Innovation
MTLC researchers seek to understand how teachers and students globally use forms of mobile technology, what factors influence types of tool use and associated educational outcomes, and how districts and school leaders can best support and develop their teachers' mastery and utilization of mobile technology.
MTLC provides teachers, school administrators, policy makers including Ministries of Education with access to planning and development, training and implementation support associated with mobile learning Initiatives.
Continuing Education
Four in-depth fully online courses to earn a mobile learning certificate in eight months for teachers and administrators .
MTLC identifies and fully tests new and emerging technologies in the field of mobile learning and houses within its mobile technology learning center an innovation bar to enable educators and policy makers to interact and experiment with innovative solutions..

+Overview of Mobile Learning Initiative(s)
Why Improve student engagement by changing the instructional delivery model. PowerUp is not about
giving students a device. HISD is changing instructional delivery in such a way devices become enables in the learning process.
When We started this initiative in August of 2013 and be 1:1 at every high school in three years.
Target student populations All high school students
Target subject areas All subject areas
Devices HP 9470m Elitebook

+What does Mobile Technology Integrated Instruction look like?
Increased access to learning resources
Enhanced communication and feedback
Restructured teacher time
Extended purpose & audience for student work
Shifting teacher and student roles
![Page 34: MLW14 UNESCO - US Panel on Best Practices and Lessons Learned](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051816/54424643b1af9f350a8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
+Transformational Technology-infused Instruction is out there.
High Quality Instruction
• Not Universal
Technology Integration
• 21st Century Skills
Transformative Instruction
• EXISTS but it is difficult to find
WHY?
![Page 35: MLW14 UNESCO - US Panel on Best Practices and Lessons Learned](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051816/54424643b1af9f350a8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
+Why so hard to find?
Context isn’t contained
The process is not linear
![Page 36: MLW14 UNESCO - US Panel on Best Practices and Lessons Learned](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051816/54424643b1af9f350a8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
+Contextual Factors

Each can function as a
barrier or support of
true technology integration
![Page 37: MLW14 UNESCO - US Panel on Best Practices and Lessons Learned](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051816/54424643b1af9f350a8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
+When Context Becomes a Barrier
Teacher practice is substantive, rather than transformational
Devices are used for behavior management rather than for the development of the 4Cs
Learning opportunities are fragmented
![Page 38: MLW14 UNESCO - US Panel on Best Practices and Lessons Learned](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051816/54424643b1af9f350a8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
+Characteristics of Successful Contextual Support
The stronger a teacher’s content knowledge, the better they will integrate technology in that content area.
Good teaching is a prerequisite
to good teaching with tech
Professional Developmen

+Policy Implications
We call for policy shapers to influence the context Funds to support all leaders to support teachers
Training Time to plan integration
Emphasize good instruction Plan for short and long term adoption efforts
It won’t all happen at once Circle back for those that don’t adopt immediately Universal access
Be patient but don’t wait It won’t happen overnight
Incorporate research into implementation
