Ten Trends by Derek Wenmoth (2 of 10)


Derek Wenmoth continues his series of discussions on the 'Ten Tends'

Ubiquitous computing - Connecting wherever, whenever.

  • Wireless - It is the way in which we can fullfil that expectation of connecting to the internet 'anytime, anywhere'.
  • Mobile Devices - The range of options is growing quickly. Laptops, netbooks, iphones, mobile phones, mp3 players, andoids, even PSP allows wireless connection to the internet beyond mere gameplay.
  • Personal Clouds - Allowing us to consider using the cloud to personalise the learning for students.

Great work Derek, this is a very concise and accurate description of this trend. You have nailed the issues in an easily digestible form for educators to consume. I think the issues you have raised are the ones we need to be thinking about in this area. I would add a little more on the way this can change space from the lab environment to a collaborative work space, shared by teachers and students that has a range of learning areas appropriate for small group activity, presentation, meetings, large group explanation etc
