I feel that these 5 videos directly and indirectly touch upon some of the key themes of trans-formative mobile learning. I especially liked Sugatra Mitra's comment that "it's not about making learning happen, it's about letting it happen" through educational self-organizing. Mobile learning is an arena where teachers have to play the role of facilitator and simply "set a process in motion" and let learning unfold with the use of new tech tools that produce unpredictable outcomes. When learning happens on-the-go, the dividing line between education and everyday life becomes blurred and frequently dissolves away to spark relevant learning.

I found David's Characteristics of Communication over FM Radio vs. Mobile Phones Table to be very enlightening. He really managed to distill the powerful differences between broadcasting information and collaboratively creating information. It clearly shines a light on the limitations of traditional, lecture-based learning and the flexibility of mobile learning.
