The third annual Handheld Learning Conference in London is currently underway, and Mark van’t Hooft of Ubiquitous Thoughts has the scoop on the first day’s sessions. Van’t Hooft covers pre-conference sessions, the opening session and more, summarizing and reflecting on a number of speeches, including those given by Jim Knight, UK Minister of State for Schools and Learning, Stephen Crowne from BECTA, Tarek Shawki from UNESCO, and Francesc Pedro from OECD’s CERI.

Van’t Hooft provides the essential content of each session and offers his own very insightful impressions, giving us a chance to vicariously experience this signature event for “always-on” learning.
