We as teachers need to be using this technology & embracing it as our students increasingly are growing up with toys that we are only just picking up now. mobile phones are the smallest computer and have the ability to be easy tools for us to use, especailly on the class excursion. Links from the phone to databases on school compuers and home would be the key, some kind of giant bluetooth capability...
