Carolyn Kotlas summarized a webinar about Cellphones as Instructional Tools. I was interested in her summary because of a recent first-time visit to the Botanical Gardens in Washington, D.C. I was very disappointed in the cellphone tours they made available and didn’t listen for long. With the increased availability of mobile devices, new opportunities arise to educate people, but, like any technology, the education has to be work for the learner in the setting. And, in this case, the gardens are beautiful and included well-designed wall text that was far more educational and memorable than the cellphone messages.
