We present our experience and preliminary results from teaching modern physics using smartphones at one of Slovak secondary schools. To be more specific, we developed teaching materials in the framework of flipped learning, applying Feynman’s many-path quantum model together with current digital technologies - GeoGebra simulations (www.geogebra.org) designed for smartphones. Using theoretical and mixed methods research, we report our current progress in answering the following research questions: What impact do smartphones have on the teaching and learning process? How simulations in the context of flipped learning contribute to the visualization, motivation and students’ mental models in the modern physics world?
