Abstract
As mobile phones are getting smarter and more widely used, they have become a well-known tool in our surroundings. Mobile phones become popular in the society and many people can afford the cost, the demand of mobility is extended to teaching and learning purposes. Using mobile as a learning tool calls for services that are compatible with the concept of communication tools. Mobile learning formally M-Learning refers to the use of small, portable hand-held devices (smartphones) that usually operate in a wireless environment, and have a connection to the Internet. This paper entitled "M-Learning: An Educator for Future" highlights the various issues involved in mobile learning, its need and how can mobile learning help us as educator in future.
