Handheld Learning - learning with mobile and ubiquitous technologies

Channel 4 will be media sponsor for this years Handheld Learning Conference & Awards.

Janey Walker, Head of Channel 4 Education said:

Channel 4 regards education as central to its distinstive public service but recognises that this needs to be delivered in new and experimental ways if we can to engage young people meaningfully in a world of abundant media choices. We have consequently been making bold steps in delivering projects for learning based around technologies that are becoming commonplace in the lives of many young people engaging them via online social networks, mobile and game based learning. We believe that the Handheld Learning 2008 Conference is an excellent forum for discussion and leadership about these new, vital practices in learning and teaching. We are therefore proud to be a sponsor and participant at this years event

Channel 4 will also be presenting as part of the main conference.
