MOBILE LEARNING PRESENTATION SUMMARY

On May 7th 2009, at SKYSONG, GAZeL presented “Mobile Learning”.  The presenters were Ann Boland and Brad Boute’.  This is a fascinating topic.  Our children and grandchildren can’t remember a time when a cell phone was not in everyone’s pocket.  Those of us who are over 35 can well remember when we had to stop at a house or store to make a phone call. As we sat in the Global conference room at SKYSONG we saw how messages, information, lessons and just plain chit chat can come to us on a tiny phone that we carry around where ever we go.  

This presentation was really dynamic.  The presenters were enthusiastic and specific.  We not only had thirty two live participants in the room but thanks to TraCorp we were able to have participants on line.  Most of the on line people were from Tucson.  They could type questions that we could see on the computer and we could answer them. Now this is not new to many of you, but the pace of technology is awesome.  

Our sponsor, Aries Technology, provided lunch from the Wildflower Bread Company.  We wish to thank Paul Skiera and David Alexander for helping to provide the room and the lunch and the President of Aries Technology for saying yes to paying the bill.  

Be on the lookout for our next event on August 20, 2009.  This will be presented by Flypaper.  We will be sending more information during June, July and August.
