An important report on trends in educational technology. A must read for keeping current and understanding context of future learning tools and techniques.

something of interest in the report that I heard Chris Dede talk about in 2007 was the rise in use of mobile technology for learning. The new blackboard 9.1 allows for some connection to its LMS from mobile devices. It will be interesting to see how we harness this technology to be more than just another means of information delivery. I would really love to work on some app ideas that were specifically designed for learning on these devices.

I agree! Mobile Learning is coming and it should be - has the potential to be so much more than improved access. it can be more than simply having access to recorded lectures in your car or on the bus via an iPod. I'm optimistic about the use of twitter and mobile devices to extend the classroom experience and improve communication. But I think we can do more. These mobile devices ( smart phones, Blackberry, iPad) are powerful computers in their own right. Perhaps we should start looking for and bookmarking mobile learning initiatives.

Absolutely. And as luck would have it, some folks on the IT list forum I am a part of have posted some. I'll log in and take a look. I am excited about the portability of information and would love to see such devices invited into the classroom for the purpose of learning instead of just seeing them turned off. When you think about it, mobile devices are pretty powerful mini computers networked to global information that could be, and should be harnessed. The power of google at my fingertips, whenever I need it.
