9. Young people who do not have access
to the internet at home or in schools —
and who lack the support that comes
from parents or teachers equipped with
strong digital skills — will not develop
the necessary social, learning and
technical skill sets for success in a
wired global economy.

Thanks to gapingvoid. The main message here is that we are looking for transformation, and that may be a slow process
Mobile learning can become a mighty mess, where you know where you want to go and catch glimpses of it, but never seem to get there as you get distracted and caught by various branches, diversions and roots.
Remember that there is no one answer to teaching – everything is a tool in the box and our job as teachers is to select the most appropriate tools
Image od SugatraMitra – put computers in poor areas of the developing world and found that children can teach themselves, so why do we need teachers? Our role needs to evolve
They can be trusted to make decisions on pedagogy. Mobile devices are not a gimmick or always appropriate
http://www.unicef.org/sowc2011/index.phpTalked about the potential for Digital Leaders running community and parent sessions, also the security of WiFi around the schhol.
If we don’t use mobile devices as tools then are we developing children’s talents and abilities to the fullest?
