Some considerations on a mobile learning experience in a secondary school

In the last few years we have witnessed an increased use of mobile technologies within educational contexts. Mobile learning is characterized as an active, ubiquitous and collaborative learning process, in which the exploration of territory and knowledge construction progress simultaneously. This paper reports on a mobile learning experience we have carried out over the past two years at the Institute for Educational Technologies of Italian National Research Council, with some secondary schools. Firstly we present the theory we investigated as the basis for our work, and then we propose the methodology used. Furthermore, we introduce a data analysis with some considerations about the efficacy and/or efficiency of our m-learning experience.
