Earlier in the week I had watched a session for the K12 Online Conference from Steve Dembo called Mobile Learning. Steve mentioned that in Japan was using Nintendo DS’s as a wifi web browser and he stated that is was coming to the states in 2007. After the session was over I did a Google search and found out that it was available. I went down to BestBuy and purchased a card about the size of normal GameBoy Advance cartridge. In a short amount of time my wife (not me) got the machine up and running. She let me borrow it for a couple of minutes to put it through the paces. Here are some pictures for your review… […]

In this session you will learn about how video can be brought to handhelds and phones.

While it went alright and got some positive feedback, I’m thinking that I could have done so much more. The most impressive presentation of the conference to me was Alan Levine’s session on new web tools. He did an incredible job of using those tools to teach people what’s significant about them. It really made me reconsider just how valuable a standard video really is, when there are so many other tools available. While the format I used was iPod compatible, it wasn’t the most effective for conveying the information I was sharing. […]

Kids today expect all their stuff (services) to be integrated into one easy to use package. Modern cell phones are exactly that sort of package. I think the kids that used their cell phones to do the flickr assignment I gave them liked that they could use their cell phones for the assignment instead of a digital camera. It made it easier in that they could do the assignment “on the go” so to speak. Actually, the assignment was designed with the idea that they would use their cell phones to do it. šŸ˜‰

Cheers,
Darren

Our students think that myspace is private, and that it is only for their peers and are somewhat insulted that adults actually know how to use myspace.
I wonder how we can bridge this and make these tools that Steve mentions operational and available to the instruction we have going on in our schools. Actually, if we can make these devices instructionally available for collaboration that will be the critical tipping point.I think that collaboration is where our technology should be pointing.

It includes this summary of Mike’s reflections on the MOBIlearn project: […]

The presentation is a great list of resources for mobile learning, as summarized in Tony Vincent’s and Leonard Low’s blog posts on the presentation. No need to relist what Tony and Leonard already wrote about, but suffice it to say that Steve focused on various Internet-based resources and tools that can be accessed via cell phone or wireless gaming devices such as the Sony PSP and Nintendo DSĀ (as an aside, Geoff writes in his moblearn blog that there is a need for “more PSP learning please!” […]
