upon reflecting on the use of mobile phones as a technology to facilitate learning. I have concluded through my participation in the mobile phone wiki a position of apprehension. I am apprehensive about the safe way of using this technology; it appears that this type of technology can be manipulated to facilitate learning, but I feel that is can also be a tool for inflicting abuse. I am also apprehensive about the level of equitability that this technology can or cannot provide. To put it simply, if you can afford mobile phone technology, great! However, if you cannot afford the technology does this mean that a learner may be disadvantaged or even excluded from an engaging learning experience? But, perhaps, it is about creating and facilitating engaging learning experiences, to this I have no reservations; use mobile phone technology.
I think that the purpose of this reflection is to look at the wiki activity through my new learning design framework. To this I would confirm that I have a logical and synthesized framework to plan authentic learning/eLearning experiences. Please view the table below.

In reflecting upon using this learning design framework, I noticed that it is a framework for ethical teaching practice.
It is a framework to which I can use guide and to evaluate, and or test learning experiences that I design . I also became mindful of how I interacted in the learning wiki, perhaps, I was guided by this new framework. what I can conclude at this point about the learning design framework is that it maintains a student centred approach when designing learning experiences.
