Short Session Description (one line): See how adult students' own mobile devices can help them extend their learning beyond the class time.
Full Session Description (as long as you would like): Four graduate students have been working this semester to find and develop mobile apps and app sets for use by a school for adult English learners. Their focus has been both on difficult sound and letter pairings and on basic vocabulary. Other graduate students before them paved the way. We will present the apps that we have found, the criteria we used to select them, our experience with working with teachers and students, and any lessons learned or tips for others thinking of doing the same. We'll also ask for your experiences and ideas.
