This book is an inspirational message about what is possible and
practical in the name of learning through mobile media. We present
stories from a diverse set of educators, a microcosm of the landscape of
mobile media learning. Each author has found a way to create something
new and beautiful in their own world. And though their results are
exceptional, their surroundings are not. Most are not experts in
high-technology, nor highly equipped. They get as far as they do by
using what is at hand, in part by making use of accessible, free and
open source software. To provide both a deeper look into how these
projects operate and a practical resource for those who want to join in,
this book addresses most of these tools individually as well. Our
detailed, down-to-earth accounts will not only be legible to newcomers
but refreshingly forthright to those anxious to better understand
educational experiments connecting learning and mobile media.
