Handheld Learning - learning with mobile and ubiquitous technologies

I liked the way it was used subversively at the conference with delegates using it to chat during sessions and keynotes.

I know that a few people made new friends using it, which was nice.

I wasn't sure that this was going to work, but in the end it was excellent and one of my real highlights at the conference.

Mark Kramer very kindly filmed mine and broadcast it using Qik.

I hope that the Pecku Ketchup is repeated next year.

Can I just say that the T-Mobile announcement was rather disappointing...

;-)


However I was able to get my hands on a real G1 the following day.

Thoughts are here.

Mark Kramer (MAMK) was so kind to share his videos from HHL 2008 Conference. He has been recording some parts of the conference and published few videos via Qik (live streaming). You can find them here:

Hi All

A very big thank you to everyone who voted for Hairdressing Training for Mobiles to win. A definite proud moment for me and the gang.

Also, a big thank you Graham and the HHL team for organising the event and giving the chance for the work to be recognised in this way... and the chance to meet Johnny Ball!

Really looking forward to the rest of the conference and to swapping ideas and arguments over the coming months here!!

What a party!

I hope everybody who came had a great time, Mrs Handheld and I certainly enjoyed cutting the rug

Twittering away our lives!

I need to remember when doing the d hhl thing that I have only about 130 characters, as a few of my tweets have been truncated.

Seems to be working.
