teaching and learning...

...the way we work, collaborate, and communicate is evolving as boundaries become more fluid and

globalization increases.”http://www.nmc.org/publications/

...simply open their web browsers and they are able to edit group documents, hold online meetings, swap information and data.

Mainstream adoption: 1 year or less

3. Mobile Broadband

In this market, innovation is unfolding at an unprecedented pace.

...mobiles are quickly becoming the most affordable portable platform for staying networked...

á la carte (individulaised) not en bloc (one for all)

Jane Gilbert, NZCER
