Great questions...would love to hear a keynote around this topic. Seems to me that moving to mobile learning will be an enormous challenge for institutions and should be looked on as a great opportunity to re-configure our concept of what constitutes an educated person.

I like it. There are two (or many more) possible emphases here: one direction explores how mobile devices are shaping learning and how teachers can currently use mobiles successfully to help their practice; the other direction perhaps explores the future of mobile learning(s), the controversies and benefits of being connected all the time, anytime, anywhere. Are technologies congregating around this space or are they leading/pushing learners in constructive/negative directions? How does one assess these new learnings, their efficacy? What happens to privacy? Are we distancing ourselves form human contact? etc.

Mobile education is inevitable - If there are best practice methods of using them as learning devices now is the time to share!

Handheld Learning, mobile devices, smart phones... how do they contribute as an aggregate to mobile instruction? Is it possible to create an entire school curriculum using just the a smart phone and a teacher? Are we there yet? Do we even want to go there? or is smart phone use in the classroom a flash in the pan? Can they deliver authentic instruction or is it just for drill and kill?
