Hi there I am looking for links and contacts on projects involved with using mobile phones to teach basic vocabulary using mobile phones.

I am involved with an EU project (MobLang) and we want to make sure we can learn as much as possible from other projects that have experience in this area.

Any references will be useful.

Thanks in advance.

Carl,

That Simpson's Episode, "Bart Gets a Z," is really funny and really relevant. I blogged about it:
http://learninginhand.com/blog/2009/10/simpsons-and-phones-in-school.html

The episode here in the states is no longer available on Hulu.com or Fox.com.  Perhaps you can purchase it in the iTunes Store?

As Graham twittered last week the Simpsons recently did an excellent take on kids perceived obsession with mobiles/pdas etc

Does anyone have a link to where I might be able to find the introductory scene; I would like to refer to it in a presentation I am preparing!

Thanks in advance

Carl
