Mini+mobile

Team Mobile- Padmini I think Viv's idea of writing this as a blog entry is a good one.

So... why am I here? What are my plans, ambitions for using mobile devices?

Many of my ESOL ( English as a second language) students do not have access to broadband internet but they all own a mobile phone and have access to computers and internet at the TAFE library and at the Individual learning centre. I want to be able to get audiovisual stimulus/preteaching material delivered to the students and get their attention and interest and engage them in learning before they get to class.This is a my starting point. I have to figure out the logistics of how to do this cheaply and effectively- Via a multimedia message? via a blue tooth or USB -download from a library computer to their phones? The cost of doing this and access to the technology needed will determine how ambitious my next step will be. Any comments?
