HandHeld Learning 2007

HandHeld Learning 2007, Westminster Hall, London!

WOW! 3 days of riding the wave of technology and I came back DRENCHED!

So many things to take in, people met and networking done! So much to think about but I think I personally have a clearer view of the path ahead!

We have been working with Fujitsu Siemens EDAs in preparation for school trials in the new year - taking away the following:

1. That the machines do have faults but they are fit for purpose
2. There are other people doing the same thing and they are willing to help and advise
3. There are a few "killer" apps that we MUST have! - SynchronEyes especially, Wildkey (we already have), (Sums Online looks good)
4. RedHalo offers a lot - and there's more to come - but at a price!

So to the future...

I'm SURE that the future belongs to the Smart Phone for anytime, anywhere learning. The data connection and wireless plus a usable keyboard and touch screen all on a pocketable format - winning formula - the other bonus it is something parents might consider investing in if they are going to buy phones any way!

Look out for:

• Toshiba's new smart phone (due for launch soon)
• The Vodafone smartphone & data bundle offering from Steljes
• The T-Mobile Ameo (not so portable but VERY feature rich (and expensive!))

Can't wait to see what the next 12 months has to offer - I can only hope I have the opportunity to be present at Handheld Learning 2008!
