This paper aims to describe positive and negative impact m-learning has on education. It states that m-learning is a teaching and learning system of metods developed from e-learning with even more advantages and improvements. Social learning is adopting in ways such as unlimited online courses and blended learning models where student learning material is available online and time in classrooms are spend for discussions and exercises. It is popular due to its accessibility, portability, universality, flexibility and so on. Fighting against it is unnecessary, as it seems correct platform and way to educate generations which was born and grow in so called 'technology world'. Based on research results, in period 2013-2017 mostly were published articles with advantages of mobile learning. However, with all advantages there are still some disadvantages such as technical issues, incompatibility with social and cultural norms and unfamiliarity with mobile technologies. Some of disadvantages appears due to m-learning being new to education and more time is needed to learn how to effectively use this tool for greater benefits. Regardless of negative aspects, m-learning soon might not be an option to choose and will be used in all educational institutions. Focus should stay on how to improve and adjust m-learning to receive all benefits it can bring (Criollo-C, Luján-Mora and Jaramillo-Alcázar, 2018)
