Like Alice, I believe mLearning is here to stay and grow. I have first-hand experiences as an educator with the drawbacks of Mlearning. Students are easily distracted on their mobile devices as well as on their personal tablets or laptops. This type of learning is also completely contingent on connectivity, which will be less of a concern with 5G. There are so many Mlearning products to chose from that it can become overwhelming for consumers (parents, educators, teachers). Ed-technology platforms that filter a "best of selection" of Mlearning products by theme or subject could be a very helpful service that I hope to develop someday with a team. Perhaps there are some MET students looking to embark upon this project with me!

Hi Tara, Thanks for your comments. I agree, students really do become distracted and filtering out good mLearning products can be a challenging task for the educator. I think it also depends on what the educator wants to showcase and the classroom environment. I love your idea of filtering for a specific type of mLearning app based on certain specific criteria.
I'm actually interested in that, if you do want to discuss this further, I would totally be up for it.
