Abstract
This chapter describes the use of wireless mobile devices for teaching and learning, and their impact on digital literacy. Following a brief description of these digital tools for education, a sampling of short narratives is used to illustrate what types of educational activities are possible above and beyond what is possible without them, what pedagogical changes need to be made to effectively integrate wireless mobile devices in teaching and learning activities, how these devices can be adapted to harness their full potential as ubiquitous devices for teaching and learning, and how digital literacy skills influence and are being influenced by this technology. The ultimate goal of this chapter is to provide evidence of the potential that wireless mobile devices have for teaching and learning.
