The document discusses how existing web technologies can be combined and adapted to bring the future of ubiquitous connectivity and learning to the present. It suggests mixing technologies like mobile phones, blogs, and online tools to create new learning experiences that take advantage of increased access and mobility. Some example mixes include moblogging with phones and blogs, accessing information on the go with RSS feeds on mobile devices, and using Google Maps in an "Amazing Race" style learning activity. The key themes are leveraging access, mobility, and connectivity to remove boundaries like time and location from learning.

1. Remixing the existing – How a mash of existing web technologies can bring the future into today James Taylor WestOne Services

2. Just what does the future hold? “ The material and the digital worlds have traditionally struggled against each other...now, pervasive technologies are bringing about a partnership between the material and digital, and the relationships among humans, machines, and environments are becoming more tightly interconnected and interdependent.” (Saveri, 2004, p.1)

3. But what does it all mean? For tech: More multi-use tools, less single-use For students: Learning through ubiquitous technologies More access! For facilitators: More platforms for collaborative teaching and learning More access!

5. Finding new uses for existing tools How many *hacker sites can you find? Wii hacks Ikeahacker Lifehacker Study hacks It goes on and on!

7. The rise of the cybernomad Increased mobility Cybernomadic movements governed by access to WiFi connectivity, power outlets, digital devices etc Immediacy of information

8. So how do we capture all this? How ‘bout some shopping? http://flickr.com/photos/partsnpieces/62970279/

9. Where should I start? Look at: The task The learners The technology The tools
