Mobile Learning Week: A Revolution for Inclusive & Better Education

From 17 to 21 February 2014, the UNESCO Mobile Learning Week explored how mobile technologies can meet the needs of educators and help them improve their effectiveness. Under the theme of “Empowering teachers with technology”, MLW 2014 considered the benefits as well as challenges associated with mobile learning—such as ensuring equity of devices, online safety, limited mobile-friendly content and the need for teacher training.

“Technology can be a powerful education multiplier, but we must know how to use it… On its own, technology is not enough.
Empowerment comes from skills and opportunities to use them. It comes from quality content that is inclusive, that draws on local languages and knowledge systems,” said UNESCO Director-General, Irina Bokova.
