New Report, Mobile and PDA technologies and their future use in education
"In recent years there has been a phenomenal growth in the number and technical sophistication of what can loosely be termed 'mobile devices' such as PDAs, mobile phones and media players.

But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?
