Added my comment on the other blog, however normally track feeds on comments and for some reason co-mment will not load for that blog. So am posting it again here.
You are right the issues are not going to go away. But mobile phones do offer so many opportunities for mlearning. However it will become hard in mobile phones are banned in schools, in Western Australia our Education Minister is looking at guidelines to make this happen.
