Elliot SolowayA fierce techno-evangelist, Elliot Soloway, has been a force in the fields of computing and engineering education, as well as educational technology.

“Mobile phones are ideal for K-12 students: They’re the tool of choice for that generation; they’re relatively affordable; they’re appropriate 21st century tools for developing 21st century skills; and, maybe most significant of all, they enable more than just anytime, anywhere learning.

This article is definitely worth a read.
