Mobile applications are a fairly new invention, creating the opportunity to play games, find the latest headlines or discover sports results. But these applications also give the teacher an opportunity to create a more diverse learning environment. I have just started to discover the benefit of the educational applications available for Android. There are applications to assist us in learning maths, languages, geography and even to help us pass our driving test. Currently most of these educational applications are designed for children, but we can only hope that as we continue to witness the growth of mobile technologies, we will also witness a growth in educational applications designed toward the further education of adults. But although there are a lack of applications that specialise in subject area, there are still many apps that assist the student in taking notes, watching videos and keeping in contact with other students and lecturers, so applications are already assisting in the mobile learning revolution and changing the way we learn.
