Abstract

The evolution of technology has situated learning to create a ubiquitous environment. The progression of technology will require preparation of students and teachers for the 21st century, including post-secondary students, necessitating a fundamental and systematic change for learning to become ubiquitous. Ubiquitous environments should be viewed through the lens of the learner and the learning environment. Equal access for all students should be prevalent so students can have access to mobile learning devices anytime, anywhere, thus, transcending the boundaries of the classroom. Integration of m-learning and ubiquitous technology in the K-20 classroom will require a new pedagogical framework for teaching and learning. At the heart of this framework, is the metacognitive teacher: a teacher who is metacognitively aware of the affordances and challenges of technology in education.
