Yesterday, our friends at Mobile Learning posted an article highlighting a new, free mobile web site hosting and authoring service called Wirenode. Wirenode uses a Web 2.0/AJAX interface to create mobile websites and to integrate Web 2.0 services including Twitter, LinkedIn, RSS, image galleries, or other “widgets.” The integration also works back into Web 2.0 with a widget available for Facebook and Mobile Facebook. The site incorporates media and interactivity, which may be uploaded by the user, and also offers an analytics tool for users who wish to track the amount of visitors/students checking out their mobile site.

As Mobile Learning suggests, Wirenode might be a terrific tool to help teachers and students create and present information in a mobile format, and is certainly a must-see for educators interested in utilizing mobile devices for enhancing and supporting teaching and learning.
