Bob Sprankle describes it: "Rather than (the doctor) trying to explain procedures with patients using just words, he now carries his phone around and shows them actual video clips of the procedures to help them understand what he's trying to convey." Brilliant. But now think about what this means for learning. It's not merely mobile learning. First, it's very personal learning. Second, it uses video as the learning resource. But third, most importantly, The doctor becomes the teacher. This is key! Personal learning becomes possible because everybody - and not just teachers - can teach. Why does this matter? This: we should not be teaching our students using video, we should be teaching our students to use video, not so they can be better students, but so they can be better teachers.
