ACU is one of at least four pilot schools this year giving every incoming freshman a choice of either an iPhone or iPod Touch (see Reuters). The Mobile Learning section of ACU’s website includes great resources and inspiring visions for 21st Century Learning and is worth exploring.
Also, Apple has posted a QuickTime stream of the iPhone Roadmap March 6th Event which — about 2/3 of the way through — demos some pretty amazing applications and possibilities for the future.

The National Endowment for the Arts released their study last November, To Read or Not to Read. They cite startling statistics about how time spent reading is on the decline (most significantly among 15 to 24-year-olds, but also among older adults as well). In fact, there was a decline in every age group studied.While good reading and writing skills are of the utmost importance, this study provides more reason to explore new media technologies as additional pedagogical tools to enhance learning for today’s busy, mobile, networked learners.
