The BESA keynote address will be delivered by Professor Mike Sharples, Professor of Learning Sciences and Director of the Learning Sciences Research Institute, who will talk about how children are starting to bring the rich but disruptive activities of social networked learning into classrooms through mobile networked devices. Mike will draw on some of his studies (e.g. providing students with 'personal learning organisers' and the new 'PI: Personal Inquiry' project) and also work from other countries on enriching and orchestrating learning through mobile technology. There are important challenges - e.g. how to link formal and informal learning, how to cope with the disruption of personal technology in schools, and how to design mobile technology for learning that isn't just a 'teacher in a small box'.
