Knowledge, Learning, Community
Breathless story about the use of wireless mobile in schools. And (unlike the old Wired, which focused on content and community) this article misses the point: "I don't know if it's that they feel cool or they're just jazzed about the technology," Ross said. "But having some of those bells and whistles make the kind of information they really need to learn exciting." Sigh. Must be time for Christmas sales. Via Golden Swamp, which makes the point that the students' increasing use of wireless mobile is a good thing - and it is, oh, it is, but not because of the bells and whistles. More commentary from Tony Vincent.
