Mobile, Digital, Ubiquitous

We had about 40 people in the audience all listening intently and trying to make sense of where the future lies with handheld technology. The panel members spoke on different topics and treated the audience to a diverse breadth and depth of knowledge to do with mobile computing.

Main points I will take away from this session:

1. Graham's semantic preference for 'Learning while mobile' instead of 'Mobile Learning', meaning that the learning will come first and the mobility will enhance this.
   
2. Judy encouraging educators to the embrace individuality of being mobile.
3. Janice reminding us that educators have become part of the learning process.
4. Tony emphasising and showing new tools for web apps for mobile devices. See his learninginhand.com site.
