Final step and follow-up

My work project has come to an end. At the 16th of April I presented the final report. Just before, I went to New York for Easter’s holydays (first time in USA), and had to find time to prepare myself for the presentation. This is a picture of one of the work moments, at a coffee shop in Broadway ;-)


This project inspired a new one: a teacher support online discussion board “mSchool” that aims to promote and facilitate the use of mobile phones as a curricular resource.
I presented the theoretical background and the design concept on the 3rd WLE Mobile Learning Symposium: Mobile Learning Cultures across Education, Work and Leisure, 27 March 2009, WLE Centre, IOE London, UK. The paper name is: Does school fit in mobile phones? The whole world does, and the extended abstract is available at http://symposium.londonmobilelearning.net/?page=Programme.

The web link is http://www.m-escola.com/, but it is only available in Portuguese.

This blog will enter a period of suspension ... until ...
Any comments or suggestions are welcome :-)
