I attended a conference on mlearning. It was a nice change to see that the day was organized in lesson form, so we spent time listening and time doing various activities on mobile devices.
For once, we didn't have to listen to a new government initiative telling us why and how they were setup and instead we could get on with learning what we came there for.
One activity, I found particularly interesting was the summarizing of some Shakespeare, but reduced to the number of characters that are in the text message. The summaries were then texted to the tutor.
Another thing that was covered was twitter. I have never really got the point of twitter before however, I now see that it could be useful for the regular exchange of ideas that just come to you. Or so he storing quick first reactions to things you come across such as the software I'm using to write this which is the dragon you talk it types software. Which is another thing, I am beginning to see advantages to [however. One hour ago, I was cursing it - and it still makes a number of mistakes]
