The ischool intiative
Monday, October 26, 2009A few weeks ago I introduced Louise Duncan from Victoria to the “Best Practice” session at Handheld Learning where she spoke about her experience of introducing ipod touches to primary school children at Shepparton Primary School. http://future.ncsl.org.uk/News.aspx?ID=187
Her reward for winning the “Lindsay Thompson Fellowship” was to travel to the UK for HHL and then on to the USA to research mobile learning.
Here she has discovered Travis Allen, founder of the ischool initiative and he is an inspiration.
What do you think?
