Whats all this text?
For those reading these slides rather than at a presentation ..... Why so many slides, mostly to provide resources to follow up and the reason for all the text on the slides is to provide useful resources and links!
Some of the slides have notes in small text that were not on the actual presentation.

First Palm and WindowCE Machine specifications.
Note Most early projects used the Palm. Although it had less media capability it had huge battery life making many projects feasible and set some expectations for what would be practical in future. The move to devices with greater media capability but short battery life, meant some of the promises of the future have not yet been realised....and also see the next slide

What we found....
• Students not very co-operative• Technology can be disruptive to its users• Students _not_ as techno savvy as they
may appear or claim• Limited Pocket Space• Tech Ages Quickly

All Users are Different
Note.This shows the % of use made of different type of application by 3 users. The median runtime is measured in seconds and indicates how long the usage sessions were

Practical Issues• Do you need special software on the device or in the
labs• Have you got suitable materials for deliver on the
chosen device• How are you going to transfer the materials• Do the materials provided on the devices need to be
available in other forms as well,e.g. for partially sighted students?

New Technology
Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirtyfive is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
Anything invented after you’re thirtyfive is against the natural order of things.
[Douglas Adams, Peter Guzzardi, Terry Jones, The Salmon of Doubt]

Hear come the talkies
• Projectors on phones• Even more storage
“Here come the talkies, obsolescence guaranteed; here come the talkies, don't you see? “(lyrics from www.sofasound.com)

Note, just because a new technology comes along you dont have to get rid of the old one. Movies did not replace the still image

Final Thoughts... “Manifestly it is better to use simple tools
expertly than to possess a bewildering assortment of complicated gadgets and either neglect or use them incompetently”
LTC Rolt, 1947
