From the RWL - in groups of threeish, each share the most important thoughts that came out of your RWL. What strikes you as really critical in our move to more mobile tech? What will drive society, and in turn, education? Is it the social isolation of Putnam, the impeding of democracy by tech (Barney) Is it the changing way we read and interact with other media?
Favourite Apps!! Speech to text and verbal search.
