The Learning2Go project has its roots in BECTA/DfES sponsored project with Headteachers and Deputies which in 2002 began to investigate the potential of PDA’s for Management purposes. When given 30 devices as part of the project David Whyley and Gavin Hawkins decided to equip 14 10 and 11 year old learners with their own IPAQ’s. This was reported by David Perry for BECTA/DFES 2003. This initial work focused on the robustness of the technology, its use in expanding learning beyond the school day and its use in Literacy lessons. Infra-red beaming technology in classroom situations was used as a means of communication between PDA's and the teacher's laptop. As the learners had total access to the devices both in and beyond the school day, changes to their learning patterns began to emerge. Learners were treating the PDA’s with the ease that they demonstrate with gaming devices, worries over input devices were unfounded and learners quickly devised innovative uses of the technology beyond the scope of the project. Parents reported the beginnings of changes to learning patterns in terms of home learning, increased motivation and learners involving the whole family.
