A Couple of Videos

I found this site with educational videos (they are from a site called "Teacher Tube" - I was a bit surprised that I could view them because I can't view video from YouTube) Here's a couple that have some relevance to mobile learning. (Some of you will have seen or heard much of this information before if you have been going to any of the e-learning events in the past few years).

Digital Students @ Analog Schools



This next video was created to encourge teachers to more effectively use technology in their teaching.

"Pay Attention"

First Post

Hi - I enjoyed our first meeting. Lots of great ideas to think about! One practical request - does anyone know a way that I could be notified when a new post is created on this blog? I've heard of RSS feeds, but am not really sure about how they work.

It was interesting to note that on the Blogger home page they had a link to an article "On the Go with Blogger Mobile" - using your mobile phone to post to your blog. If I had a phone with a built in camera, I'd try it! Maybe this project will give me the motivation I need to update my own technology.
Hi Everyone

It was great to meet you all the other day. Lyn Ham and myself will be working together on this project. We will attend most of them together however some sessions there will only be one of us present. We are excited to be part of this project and discover how mobile technologies can enhance what we are already exploring in e-learning.

So much to learn and so little time

Thanks Greg. Just spent some time looking through those sites. I didn't realise how much can be done with a mobile phone but I do realise I have a lot to learn before I can even think about how we might implement m-learning.
Che Metcalfe from KUKAN Studio is coming to our next meeting. I have asked him to give an overview of the use of mobile content and applications, a bit about the technology, how TAFE SA might be able to use PodMo and advice about the direction he thinks we should take with m-learning.

Cheers

Mobile crazy!!!

The 4th Screen is a festival for art and innovation on mobile phones. This link will take you to the Resources page which is chockers with interesting and inspiring sites and examples of deliverable content and softwares for mobile phones. It also has some great blogs listed, I'd recommend giving IN-duce: DE-duce a read, particularly the "location based mobile phone games" story.
Picture phoning is a cool site as well.
