Everyone Has a Cell Phone; Everyone Is a Learner

Created by Dan Gilbert (Stanford University) on February 27, 2006
Today's SF Chronicle has a summary of some studies about impace of everyone having a mobile phone. Not much about learning in this article, but opens some windows for thinking about how a device for one thing can be used for another. My own thought is that people will use their phones for a learning acitivity if it is short, in the right context, and can be connected with some other part of their learning career.

Phones are less limited than they used to be only a short time ago. When cell phone includes a Java virtual machine it can run apps to do most anything - and that seems to be the new direction.

Such phones clearly can be used for learning. I wonder if there also needs to be some kind of pizazz as a lure?
