"A unique service has opened in Barcelona offering students Spanish
classes by day and a local “host” to show them around the city in the
evenings. Barcelona Host
also has a unique 24/7 service allowing students to send questions via
Whatsapp or email at any time of the day or night and receive a prompt
reply," according to The PIE News. With all of the conversations in education, whether virtual or face-to-face (F2F), about student engagement and interaction, the role of technology has to be examined. In this case, the interactivity of the technology and the use of mobile tools reflect a very real and current trend. The idea that 'education' is defined by a time and place has to be called into question.
What issues do you see if you wanted to implement some kind of interactivity via mobile technology for time outside the traditional 'school day' (a concept that is also being called into question)?
