=Ubiquitous Learning=

====Recent advances in information and communications technologies have led to the forward movement of portable devices, such as smart phones, tablets, iPods, PDAs, digital cameras, and flip cameras, which have fostered learning anywhere and at anytime. Ubiquitous learning is the new learning opportunity that encompasses both mobile and e-learning. This new learning has allowed for access, interaction, engagement, and interconnectedness globally regardless of physical space or time. Learning is more current, relevant, ongoing, interactive, and lifelong. Learners can now access and create information whenever best fits their schedule.====

====The 21st century educators now have the advantage of using these new technologies to increase their curricular and instructional options. They can engage their students in 24/7 learning that goes beyond the learning that occurs in the traditional school day. By taking advantage of the engaging tools the new technologies have made available, their students will become better thinkers, communicators, and collaborators, become more creative, be able to inquire and problem-solve, and become more globally aware.====

====Every day new technologies are embedded into our everyday lives which allow for a continuous flow of audio, video, images, and text for our learning and entertainment. These technologies allow learning to occur at any time of the day, while we are anywhere, doing anything. The following video illustrates just a few of these places technology affords learning to occur.====
