learning is always mobile
sometimes learning gets
de-mobilised
(for good reasons)
good reasons:
shelter (safe environment)
focusing and synchronising attention
enabling various forms of communication

„Smartpads are more powerful/ versatile than paper books and exercise books.“
„Smartboards are more powerful/ versatile than chalkboards.“
„Beamers are more powerful/versatile than overhead projectors.“
etc. …
But in fact, digital, networked media are not merely powerful new tools.
They demand and enforce a change in the way that schools organise …
