Mobile Technology in Teacher Education

by | Sunday, February 01, 2015

I was recently invited to keynote The First International Conference on Mobile Technology in Teacher Education (MiTE 2015). The conference was organized by the School of Education, National University of Ireland, Galway. Kudos to the organizers (main point of contact being Seán Ó Grádaigh) for a great conference. I had a wonderful time, making some new friends and engaging in some great conversations.

Here are some links, recently shared by Seán, for those who want to get a sense of how the conference went.

You can see the MiTE Program Booklet and/or browse the photo gallery, or watch a synopsis video

I had posted earlier about a recent commercial that, though arguing at one level that technology can fundamentally change education, seemed to stick to the standard-lecture (albeit in different and cooler modes of transmission). Just how little the discourse around...
