1. Creating 21 st Century Learners (Reflections on Pedagogy) Mark van ‘t Hooft, PhD Kent State University Research Center for Educational Technology Kent, OH, USA Handheld Learning Conference London, UK October 2007
These are my thoughts on education, and the role of (mobile) technology as I have seen and experienced it over the past 30+ years, as a student, teacher, researcher, parent, and tax payer. We have some large issues we need to deal with in the near future if we want educational institutions to truly reconnect with the rest of society. I should also mention that what I’m going to show and talk about are broad generalizations and of course there are always exceptions to the rule.
