Now I’m feeling alittle unnerved when i’m finding things on microchipping primary school kids assets .

And especially considering I’m drawn into speaking with Verichip.

Predictions: 2006

I’ve written something in response to an article I read today located at http://elearnmag.org/subpage.cfm?section=articles&article=31-1

My take which I’d welcome feedback on is;

“Education policy in Australia strongly reflects an awareness that mobile communication interaction is part of the greater networked online learning ecology. Despite the resistance to mobile devices being used in teaching and learning a growing number of early adopters are utilising these new and emergent communication technologies to engage, retain and motivate students.

The greatest shift in 2006 will be evidenced by the K-12 education sector embracing mlearning occuring alongside developments in other education sectors. Huge reservations exist with student privacy, security and other related concerns at the forefront of debates involving mlearning in schools.

The interoperable nature of this mobile technology with existing e-learning systems will place a demand on the provision of appropriate networked servicing, professional development for educators and access to reusable learning objects / resources that are mobile enabled – irrespective of the device type.”
