The joint efforts of the Korean Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development (MOE & HRD) and Apple Korea were employed to integrate mobile technology in elementary schools. This evaluation research intended to provide the implications of successfully building and implementing m-learning environment. It performed pre-and post-tests in order to measure learners' achievements; surveyed to measure students' satisfaction, efficacy, and motivation; and conducted qualitative field observation and interviews along with video/audio-recordings. As a result, the current research proved the potential power of the Mac-wireless computer integrated instruction/learning approach regardless subject, class, and gender. In addition, it reveals several success/hindering factors within the elementary school.
