Introduction
In recent years, many studies have been done regarding mobile learning in various devices such as iPhone, tablets, Android phones, many of these investigations lead to the same conclusion that mobile devices with Internet connections bring innovation in different environments which students are exposed thus being a tool that would help improve learning languages like English. This would help with vocabulary, grammar, listening and speaking and also improve student participation in the various means of collaboration such as forums, Facebook, blackboard. These advances help to have better communication between the student and the teacher as more easily could send and receive assignments, texts or images. Unfortunately, the technology

Why teachers should engage M-learning?
Among all the reasons I have outlined in this research, we can emphasize the most important that may be that could be accessible as we have a variety of devices nowadays, many free apps for learning as well as the ease of having any information available to students, parents and teachers.
The cost is cheaper because most applications are free and have great ease of obtaining devices which makes it more accessible than anything else.
We can share faster than light!!!! With drop box, google drive, and others. Parents and teachers have a significant opportunity to stay in touch and updated on what happens to their children.
The academic rigor could be related to the amount of applications which could have communicated, such as Blackboard application which leaves us send and receive related assignments ratings and forum messages. Last but not least the use of technology and new growth make us more productive people and helps us prepare a future full of

Conclusions
I have found here in evidence that shows us the potential associated with the use of mobile technology in learning English or any other assignment. It helps us to be more interested in learning, students more focused and more committed, more participation in communities which results in better skills in all aspects, grammar, listening, speaking and writing.
There is no single recipe if you like any other educational mobile element can be positive or negative depending on the needs of the student, teacher, learning objectives or activities to do.
Yet it is important to bear in mind that we can take advantage of many of the advantages of using electronic devices that many people have, in this way we help students achieve technological skills which will allow meaningful learning for
Brazil technology Compared to Liberty middle school's technology Brazil: When the Brazilian government set out to expand computer access in its schools, they had a broad and important set of goals. Based on the knowledge that improved computer access in K-12 schools and post-secondary institutions leads to a more skilled workforce, a narrower "digital divide", a more diversified economy, and wider participation of all citizens in the knowledge-based economy, the government set a plan in motion. For the long term, to have an entire workforce educated and trained with information and communication technology; and within the next five years, to make computer access a part of everyday life for a growing generation of Brazilian children. The biggest challenge:The Brazilian
As of 2014, 86% of adults over the age of 18 in the UK have access to the internet anywhere (Document 11). Technology is a highly controversial issue in today’s society. With an ever-widening gap in technological knowledge between generations, many like to argue that every flaw present in someone today is due to overuse of smartphones. However, these pocket-sized supercomputers we carry around with us allow us to broaden our horizons and experience the world in an entirely new way. While some say technology is taking away our ability to be human, it actually encourages connectivity, and allows for new forms of discovery and creativity.
It seems like every day we hear something about 760mph trains or self-driving cars. Technology is changing the way we think all the time. We are more connected to each other than ever before. We can see and do things that other people before us would only dream about. The use of technologies can change the world.
With technology, students can learn at home instead of in government schools, and they are able to learn at their unique pace, and process more information because it is readily available to
The change of speed in today’s society has increased dramatically, we are expected to process information at a faster rate. There is no time to sit and read new information, we want to be flooded with new information fast. While the technology in the world has increased most schools are moving slower. Most schools do not have up to date technology for their students to succeed in the real world. We can say this is a good thing to have less technology in school, because we can go back to the old days and research of the books.
Most schools today use different versions of technology to advance learning in the classroom, but in reality this is making students learn a lot less. Students have access to all sorts of games, videos, and anything not school work related on a device. Spending more time on leisure activities
Sue Honoré, an independent learning consultant who has studied people who were born from 1982 to 2002 has that “while young people are "undoubtedly capable of long periods of concentration", those who spend a lot of time alone using technology tend to have less in the way of communication skills, self-awareness and emotional intelligence”. It has been proven that around 31 nations that students who used computers everyday in class had lower test scores in reading and math than students who don’t use them as much (Study: Students Who Use in School Doesn’t Help Test Scores). Though technology is amazing and has given so many people different opportunities they would’ve never had before it is resulting in a few bad habits for students. Casey Schools systems around the United States have begun to rely on technology to teach their students instead of teachers to teach them. According Michael Godsey, a veteran high-school English educator, even said and agreed with many people today that we are at the point in time where since we have the internet at our fingertips, there is really no need for teachers
Students can use technology for research, play educational games, learn from different areas around the world, etc. Yes, little usage of technology does benefit a child’s success. Nevertheless, most students spends too much time on their devices and is most likely going to get addicted to it. Technology is fun, but it leads to procrastination and eventually failing in class. Even though technology very useful to use, relying on it would not be a good idea.
So it is lead to forgetting the basic way of learning. For example, when the teacher gives students homework they are turning to use of technological devices to search for the answers, rather than return to the main book. On the other hand, we can use the tablet devices in a good way to avoid all these defects, by observing teachers or the parents for their children and students and put some guidance of using tablets, such as placing the appropriate time. Also, the families can close some apps which are unwanted. (Peter, 1997,
Argumentative topics : school children should be allowed to bring mobile phone to schools 1. Introduction A. Hook/Attention getter: As the time flies, technology play the main role in our life, where the world is getting smaller, mobile phone is on everybody’s lip more than MacDonald and Kentucky’s Fried Chicken. Mobile phone becomes indispensable gadget, an absolute necessity for both adult and children. Aware of the essential of mobile phone in life, people starts question whether it should be allowed in school or not and this issue has been hotly debated over the year.
Have you ever considered the amount of productivity, responsibility, blocking of confusion, and the amount of satisfied office workers cell phones can make happen in schools. Well, if you are a principal cell phones could make everyday life at your schools a lot easier. ¨Using smartphones for on-the-fly research during class is a start. ¨ But a good next step is having students gather pertinent information and then learn ways to analyze the validity of their sources.¨ (centerdigitaled)
"Technology is like art. It is a soaring exercise of the human imagination". Like everything in this world that has its good and bad effects on us, technology does too. How we use technology is important in determining what results it would bring us. Nowadays, technology is heavily used for educational purposes.
New technologies that people had never imagined a decade, or even some decades ago, are now expanding and changing all our lives. Taking smartphones as an example, people in old time had never imagined that small, tiny box could enable people to bring smart computer to everywhere. Yet, smartphones are now completely embedded into our lives and changed how we communicate. Technology lets us live simply, more conveniently, and more easily, but at the same time, it creates complex debates and controversies of ethical problems. In this world, where humans cannot live without the benefits of technology, it is impossible to ignore ethical problems.
Imagine a world today where people didn’t have the technologies. If there were no technologies today, humans wouldn’t have phones, computers, tablets, Instagram, Twitter, or Snapchat. Technology is now a big part of people’s society and predictable future. Electronic devices like cars, phones, tablets, and computers have all been created over time to make peoples live helpful and easier. The benefits of technology are that people can talk to their friends and relatives who are living far from them, they can learn new things and online courses, and they’re able to reach distant places within hours which took years of time to reach in olden days.
Both students and teachers can now find facts within seconds. This can be very useful when explaining and debating topics.” As we all know, kids in this day in age have so much power in the palm of their hands they can get any piece of information they need in seconds and they should be able to use that power. Another reason kids should be able to use their smartphones in class is that teachers now are able to create assignments which kids can complete on their phones.
