Over the years, digital technologies have provided us with affordances for teaching and learning we wouldn’t have imagined before. Computers, the (wireless) Internet, and Smartboards are but a few examples. Mobile tools, the focus of this special issue of RCETJ, have become one of these technologies as well. They include devices like mobile and smartphones, Ultra-Mobile PCs (UMPCs), and Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), complemented with a host of stand-alone and web-based software tools. They are a disruptive technology, contributing to the fast and complex changes in our society, and enable us to communicate with others, access information, and entertain ourselves whenever and wherever the need or desire arises.
