Integrating mobile devices and technology into the educational experience

الملخص EN

In the past 5 years in Kurdistan, we have witnessed a dramatic rise in the availability and usage of mobile devices.

Technology that was once limited to the hands of the privileged few, has now been adopted and embraced by the greater public.

As educators this widespread adoption of mobile device technology offers us an incredible opportunity to enhance the learning experience by making students active rather than passive learners and to ease and streamline our administrative duties, by integrating technology into the curriculum.

Conscious of the fact that the availability and access to technology in the classroom in Kurdistan, varies from place to place, this paper will focus on how mobile devices can enhance the educational experience for students and educators outside of the classroom.
