Education futurist Elliot Masie examines the role of iPhone-like media devices might play in mobile learning. (Thanks Patti!)
Howdy folks! I’m an Instructional Designer at UT Dallas. I have a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education from Angelo State University and a Master’s in Computer Education and Cognitive Systems from the University of North Texas. I’ve been working in edtech for 11 years. Hmm… what else? I’m a *huge* fan of that little Irish band called U2, and I’m a bigtime Firefly/Serenity advocate.
Where can I get a job like his? Getting paid to play with iPhones. I am so jealous.
The iPhone is definitely a new tool in the distance learning toolbox. The thing is amazing. I think the US will become “Cell Phone Power Users” in just a few years (much like the rest of the world is already). Once it overcomes its limitations (storage is 8 gig and battery life is short), it will be mine …oh yes, it will be mine.On a separate note, is Elliot Masie a real person? I have attended his video conferences, read his articles, and seen his videos. I have never seen him “live” though. I am beginning to think that he is educational technology’s version of Max Headroom. Just a hunch.
