I'm a scan reader and may therefore have missed it but - - - did anyone mention the use of a mobile phone as an Ocarina?

b.t.w.
If you're coming along to this session - bring a phone :)

Some great lists being created! I wonder how many people are asking their learners to use their phone for some of the functions above?
Also a bit of future gazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq3EeZz-W3A&feature=related
Fast forward to 2 minutes 10 seconds and watch the bit with the mobile phone.
Dave Sugden and I were having a discussion today about how nice it would be to finally get a phone that will project as well as print (like the pogo printer). Meanwhile, our colleague Dave Foord went online and bought the pogo printer off ebay for just over £20... :-)

The video looks fine but most of the technology they show is here now - just not in one device.

But do we need it in one device? Are we happier now with our Smartphones than we were with a phone, a camera, a filofax, a postage stamp + postcard, a T.V., a cinema down the road, a printer, a radio, a Walkman (!!)?

Are we?

Interesting David device convergence has sort of gone into reverse. "The lord of the rings approach one device to rule them all" has not happened Iphone heads may disagree . The catch all device is great when you dont have bespoke specialist device with you but............. that canon DSLR uba mega pixel does take stunning photo's if youve got a good eye for composition !! Interesting I was rember my fist sanyo walkman and problem with that was it ate batteries somethings never change !!!

I think the video is a little unrealistic.. it does not show anyone having to.. "turn it off and turn it back on again" ..reboot.. their window, glass table, reset their plane boarding pass, or just banging it annoyingly in frustration with their hand. .. All features of Microsoft products so far.

I like convergence and I like specialism, and I think with technology, its just useful having access to both!

Excellent session team. Engaging, fun and above all, informative. Thanks
David M Kennedy

Very good session, I got a lot out of it. Many thanks.

This was the best session that I have been to - very excited about some of the things I have taken away from the session and it takes a lot to excite me - I am an accountant after all!

Thanks iwi, David and Jan, we enjoyed delivering the session.

I hope you all take something away with you = tell us how it went on the blog?

David

See the slideshow at slideshare: http://www.slideshare.net/dsugden/dsls9sep

This was a great session, so enthusiastically prepared and delivered, and showing some genuinely innovative and fun ways to use existing technologies. This has certainly given me lots of new ideas for exploring the integration of these tools with learning activities.

Thanks, Adrian
