Abstract
At present, the popular perception of mobile telephones in the UK, including the education sector, is generally negative: they are perceived as a nuisance and distraction (Stone, 2002: 262). The image of schoolchildren staring out the classroom window, minds preoccupied with daydreams, could be supplanted by one of students staring forward – not daydreaming but interacting with vibrating gadgets, chattering with offsite friends, and accessing materials from outside the classroom. Tomorrow’s mobile technology may be the perfect tutor in the local/global biomachine that many futurologists anticipate (Katz, 2004).
