It is simple addition: kids with mobiles + mobile learning stuff = opportunities for kids to learn. The story here today from the BBC shows that the first part of the equation is taking care of itself:
Ofcom, the UK’s communications regulator, recently reported that 82% of 12 to 15-year-olds owned a mobile phone while just under half (49%) of 8 to 11-year-olds had one. Across both age groups, they make an average of eight calls and send 25 text messages a week.
The second part of the equation is an open door to global learning and literacy. Let’s use it!
