wireless reach group: we look at underserved populations, many emerging economy ; one group is students in our nation schools

remember how one computer per worker, then work changed;

work patterns have changed with mobile wireless; kids also

1:1 students want to know why limit me to one?

Project K-Nect: north carolina; put math problems on cell devices; each student different problems so talked more about how get answer rather than answer; saw kids develop communities of learning develop and more work getting done outside of school; teachers methods evolved with experimentation--using texting became democratizing ; also saw hots transfer to other classes; 30% increase proficiency but several factors contributed
2 things to take away: not kids magically learn better with cell--rather how community helped learning and devices helped; fun was being a part of a network, whether monsters or math;

wireless reach initiative two categories:
friday institute: mobile impact on assessment
sdsu mobile learning engagement project

if you want teachers to teach with mobile, they need to know mobile
teachers cant teach what they don't know; teachers need to experience that themselves

augmented reality game overlays on real environment;
hp video

lots of interesting inventions to be made yet
