This document discusses the potential benefits of mobile learning and technology in education. It highlights how mobile devices can enable creative media, generate conversations and access to information when used appropriately. Only 1.64% of negative behavior incidents are linked to mobile devices. The document provides examples of how mobile learning can enhance experiential, outdoor and guerrilla styles of learning. It stresses that the focus should be on learning, not just the technology, and encourages capturing, sharing and collaborating using available mobile devices.

Mobile learning can be messy, you have an aim but it’s not always easy to get there, have to let go and give control over to students, can get distracted, the end point is not always what you expected it to be, students produce another outcome to your anticipation.
http://www.unicef.org/sowc2011/index.phpTalked about the potential for Digital Leaders running community and parent sessions, also the security of WiFi around the schhol.
If we don’t use mobile devices as tools then are we developing children’s talents and abilities to the fullest?
Do students really have a real voice? Do we really listen? Chalk graffiti. Using tech to record a map of social spaces / safe areas / happy vs sad areas
First step – digital leaders and student curriculum hackers to generate the policy
Student generated mobile device policy – extract – all available on issuu.com
What soundtrack would match your school? Would different areas have different music why? Use your device to play music to match & have a conversation to explain why. Use garageband or other apps to record a sound map across an area.
Engaging the disengaged – Super Nanny child ‘media trained’. Embedded in schemes of work. Skydrive. Google Docs. Students share via.
The most important aspect of this brief talk is that and initiative or piece of new technology should be underpinned by sound learning objectives. If there learning is right and high quality then the argument against using technology soon disappears. Id we are using Win 8 devices to improve achievement and attainment..
