When I was at school, around this time of year, we would visit Marks and Spencer’s for the annual school uniform trip. Uniform was compulsory but not supplied by the school, the same was true for PE Kit, pens, pencils, rulers, calculators and a whole raft of other supplies much of which had no application [...]
I am on a train, as I write this, heading back from the Mimas (The University of Manchester) Mobile Learning - Telling Tales event at the University of Westminster. I’ve had time to have a great conversation with Graham Brown-Martin, Carl Smith and Sara Wingate Gray after the event. One of those great post-conference chats [...]

I’ve always championed large scale access to Mobile [...]

So can we really do it? Mobile learning surely it’s just a buzz phrase that hooks in a bit of funding every now and again for various quirky projects?

Schoolchildren are to be given lessons in how to avoid excessive ringtone charges according to the BBC. The lessons will look at business models and also children will be given a chance to create their own sounds.
It’s an interesting move since schools are often environments where mobile phones are seen as subversive and disruptive and [...]

When I first started working with mobile technologies one of the comments made to me at presentations (and still is) is the cost. It is true that the cost of small portable devices is out of proportion with the cost of more powerful laptop computers and desktops. Conversely there is quite a bit of work [...]
Building on from musings and criticisms about Marc Prensky’s ‘Digital Native and Immigrant’ labels. I want to put forward that we are taking the risk of creating ‘Digital Savages’. Digital Savages are enthusiastic about taking up new technology but have no idea about how to manage it. A digital savage is the manager who always [...]
