Fast company has a great new article on how smartphones have changed education forever. It’s a really good read.

One other take away is a line talking about how educational innovation has a hard time. It explains why Japan still hasn’t got an English programme in place!
educational innovation is useless if the teachers don’t find it helpful —
it can’t be a distraction,
it’s can’t be an additional burden on their time,
it can’t be a threat to their authority.
We solve these though and we solve the problem!
Anybody there who could translate these wise lines into great Japanese! This would be something to talk about to some people here.
And,, could you line out, where it is from, in case I get a chance to talk about it.
On that note, when will you be making education apps for us to download onto our smart devices. I have an iPad and would love to have all your software as an app.
We’re working in it! It’s probably going to take quite a while though!! 8)
