The education landscape has been transformed with the rise of Internet technologies leading to Web 2.0, elearning, and now mlearning. There is an expectation for teachers to incorporate these technologies to augment and transform the learning experience. Mobile technologies can offer many opportunities to develop and assess skills and knowledge. Formative assessment via classroom response and polling systems can build knowledge and engage learners. There are many free tools available to teachers that can be incorporated into classroom teaching to scaffold learning and assessment. This interactive session will demonstrate the use of a number of mobile polling applications and discuss the pedagogical affordances of their use.
