Abstract
<span>The use of mobile devices is increasing in daily learning activities, providing single-person use combined with interactive learning materials, simulations, voice recognition and educational games. Mobile app stores bring to learners a large amount of mobile applications, but their value and effectiveness to support these learning activities is far from being adequately studied.</span><br /><span>In this paper, we present our recent study related to the opportunities for smart devices to be used in school education, outlining the main obstacles and challenges. The subject of the research is students' interest in the use of multimedia mobile devices for educational purposes. The aim of the study is to establish the main determinants for the complete and purposeful application of smart devices in school education.</span>
Highlights
The popularity of mobile devices has been rapidly changing learning, communicating, even our very life styles
The existing education system and the widely used learning methods in the learning process can hardly hold the attention of students who are accustomed to the use of digital sources of information and entertainment
Digital children are born in a different world, live at different speeds, their brains function differently, and it is impossible to adapt to the education system, as it exists
Summary
The popularity of mobile devices has been rapidly changing learning, communicating, even our very life styles. To modern students “inhabiting virtual realities is much more than a new kind of pastime. Rather, it sets up a mode of perceiving and interacting with the world around in which the resolution of a dilemma, the overcoming of a difficulty, the discovery of something new, important or necessary is a matter of a single click of the mouse or just a touch of the screen” [2]. Digital children are born in a different world, live at different speeds, their brains function differently, and it is impossible to adapt to the education system, as it exists. The only solution is to adapt the education system to them [3]
