In an initiative to improve learning experiences and outcomes for students, the leaders of a school located in a hospital in Australia implemented a new digital strategy with mobile technologies and relevant digital pedagogies.
This study examines the outcomes of a professional development program introduced to effect transformational change by enabling integrated use of mobile technologies in the hospital school.
The study examines teachers’ views following completion of this customized professional development program, using a mixed methods investigation situated within the unique learning environment of the hospital school.
A key finding is that identifying and addressing teacher needs through customized professional development, supported with individualized coaching, can increase the participating teachers’ technological pedagogical knowledge to enable the improved use of mobile technology in a hospital school setting.
Additionally, hospital school teachers responded to opportunities to collaborate as a professional learning community to implement, support, and enhance mobile learning for hospitalized students.
The findings from this study have significant implications for leaders in all schools and systems embarking on similar initiatives to transform pedagogical practices through professional development supporting mobile technology integration in a digital world.

This longitudinal 5-year study explored work samples and reflections of elementary and secondary preservice teachers in a graduate teacher education program. The study examined (a) to what extent did preservice teachers integrate technology into their instructional planning? (b) to what extent did K-12 students use technologies as a result of preservice teachers’ instructional designs? Findings indicated 85% of preservice teachers integrated technology skills and knowledge in instructional practice with their K-12 students.

We consider that multimedia design for training and education should combine the most powerful features of interactive multimedia design with the most effective principles of technologically-mediated learning.
An examination of the evolution of the design of videogames is a good way to analyze the main contributions and characteristics of games-based learning environments.
At the same time, we will discuss the main obstacles and challenges to the use of games for learning.
