Some of my materials will work on any platform, PDA, Desktop computer, and mobile but I particularly like working with mobile phones because it is something almost every student already has and is familiar with. Materials can be shared locally using a Bluetooth server. If you want to read more about how I created learning materials for mobile phones. Then this paper might be helpful - http://newsletter.alt.ac.uk/e_article000729140.cfm Yes it hard work, I think we need to accept we are really pushing the boundaries and that means not everything we try will work but even the disappointments are useful because it can inform the next step.

BTW I checked out the work you are doing with the hairdressers. Really good. I am doing similar work here with hairdressing and beauty but am working with PDAs. I am interesting in how you are beaming the material to the mobiles? Sue I agree Stuart I prefer being on the roller coaster but it is hard work.

One of the problems that those educators who shun the technology will increasingly face is that they are left behind and the learning curve will be steep. When I first started using mobiles, you could make a call and text. Within a year I was playing games, another surfing the web, then taking pictures and so on. It is a challenge but I would rather be on the roller coaster than in the queue waiting to get on! Sue I think you have a good point it is advancing very fast.

I think the biggest shame is the our students do have these devices in their pockets and yet many schools are implementing policies that prevent teachers being able to use them. I agree with your statement "the real challenge is to provide mass education with individual flexibility in approaches to learning" but would our additional challenge will be that mobile technology is advancing fast - and whatever we do will need to have the ability to change with it.
