Feedback from teachers and students indicates they like the direct communication and find it less tedious than using reception phone services. The document also discusses how text messaging was successfully used to market events, with over 500 people attending one open evening after a text was sent to students.
The Role Of The Teacher In 25 Years Time - Keri FacerHandheldLearning
The document discusses reimagining teaching in the 21st century and challenges some assumptions. It outlines major technological trends that will shape education over the next 25 years, including ubiquitous computing, massive computing power, mixed reality, immersive experiences, brain-computer interfaces, and complex systems. These trends will challenge conceptions of knowledge, learners, tools, places of learning, and raise environmental and ethical issues. The document calls for reimagining education around meaningful real-world problems, diverse experts, and fluid learning across contexts with multiple forms of assessment. However, it notes education has remained largely unchanged despite long-standing calls for reform, and examines underlying assumptions that prevent change.
This document discusses a project to enhance distance learning programs for mobile learners through the use of mobile technologies. The project aims to improve access to education for students in developing countries by developing appropriate pedagogical content that can be accessed on mobile devices. A pilot program tested content on mobile phones with students in Southern Africa. Initial findings suggest multimedia content works well and students quickly adopt the technologies. Next steps include expanding content, exploring sustainability, and considering implications for formal education.
The document is an agenda for a gaming in education conference that will feature several speakers discussing using various games like Nintendogs, Guitar Hero, and Endless Ocean for educational purposes.

The document discusses a new flexible learning program in Victoria that includes literacy, numeracy, personal development, and work-related skills courses. It also describes a digital mini film festival for youth where one-minute films are shared between mobile phones using Bluetooth technology. Research was conducted on using this Bluetooth technology, called BlueZone, to transfer educational content to mobile devices within a 100m range. Findings showed it was successful in transferring files to different mobile brands and models within 10m. Recommendations include using this technology for campus activities, events, and sharing educational resources with students.
The document discusses using an electronic Record of Professional Development (eROPD) with PebblePad instead of a traditional paper-based system. A pilot project was conducted with 10 PGCE students to produce their ROPD electronically. Some benefits found so far include having access anywhere at any time, ability to include different media types as evidence, and no large paper folder to carry. However, it also takes time to set up profiles correctly and training is needed for students on using the technology. Overall the eROPD approach shows potential but still has areas for improvement.
The document discusses Glasgow Caledonian University's (GCU) presence and activities in Second Life, including:
1) GCU initially created a 6-month project to develop a presence in Second Life for marketing purposes.
2) GCU now hosts weekly evening classes and competitions to explore using 3D virtual worlds for learning and teaching.
3) Activities include students and staff building virtual simulations, social hubs for networking, and informal skill-building classes.
4) Ongoing research is evaluating virtual learning communities and how to increase staff engagement with the platform.

Teachers found the tool provided immediate results and visual feedback, improved literacy, and yielded assessment data more efficiently than traditional methods.
ALPS is a collaboration between 5 universities aiming to develop mobile learning and assessment tools for students in health and social care fields. It recognizes that learners need to be connected to information in practice settings and that mobile devices can enable learning experiences that are active, autonomous, flexible and collaborative. ALPS has created common competency maps in areas like communication, teamwork and ethics to guide assessment on mobile devices, which can then capture evidence and reflections from practice and integrate with ePortfolios. Initial feedback from students on the mobile assessment approach has been positive.
The document discusses two philosophies of education:
Philosophy A views education as broken but fixable through technology and targets, while Philosophy B sees it as a long-term investment requiring teacher support. It provides examples of projects by Learning and Teaching Scotland that apply Philosophy B, such as the Glow national schools intranet and Scottish Learning Festival conference, and argues educational change requires long-haul development of teacher skills with technology as just one part of their work.
The document discusses how mobile technologies can benefit learners with disabilities and learning difficulties.
