The Learning2Go project team is very clear that this is not just a collaborative project about 'gadgets'. Its vision is to adapt the education system to deliver 21st century learning to 21st century learners, raising standards and aspirations throughout Wolverhampton.
The project focuses on providing high-quality learning content on personal handheld devices, which children carry with them both at school and at home.
The project's clear emphasis on embedding ICT in education offers access to pupils at any time, which gives them the opportunity to direct their own work.
One particular piece of innovation vital to the success of the first phase of the project has been to change the orientation of content on the screen of the mobile device from portrait to landscape. This has allowed even more high quality content to be offered through the devices as it more closely mirrors the proportions of a traditional PC monitor.
The Learning2Go project is now moving to its next phase and more children will be offered mobile devices to use. The team is not afraid to reach for new heights, with plans to offer wireless access to the internet throughout the whole city, affording children the opportunity to gain even more value from the devices outside school hours.
