One way of looking at it
All of Web 2.0, just more so• Ambient

• Annotating

I. Hardware
Wireless computing uses the radio spectrum, rather than telephone or ethernet cables, to send digital information. The name hearkens back to the earliest days of radio, and appropriately, since wireless computing is very much a young field.

III. Cases
Students researching• Experience has shown that portable and
wireless computing facilitates data collection, which has certain pedagogical implications. Students have greater facilities for gathering information from the field, thereby. Field researchers can be better integrated with classes (with each other, instructors, experts) through wireless communication:

IV. Pedagogies
Emergent pedagogies• Information on
demand• Time usage
changes• Class/world barrier
reduction
• Personal intimacy with units
• Spatial mapping • Mobile, multimedia,
social research
![Page 22: Mobile/wireless computing](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e6b03b4c905f66a8b4674/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
IV. Pedagogies
Students researching• Googling on
demand• Local digital
resources
• Queries to colleagues, experts, dbs, faculty, librarians
• Spatial mapping
![Page 23: Mobile/wireless computing](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e6b03b4c905f66a8b4674/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
IV. Pedagogies
Pedagogy: learning spaces
classroom • one leading pilot space for wireless• arrangements• mode: lecture/lab
campus• other sites: library, residence hall• new learning spaces• chunks of campus
![Page 24: Mobile/wireless computing](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e6b03b4c905f66a8b4674/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
IV. Pedagogies
Pedagogy: learning spaces
external world• increasingly reachable, present• world as syllabus, research field
annotated space• writing to removed units• writing to space, augmenting reality (classic:
Spohrer's "Information in Places")• spatial information: (34 North 118 West /, )
![Page 25: Mobile/wireless computing](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e6b03b4c905f66a8b4674/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

IV. Pedagogies emergent
Publishing• Synching MP3 player, Palm, PocketPC, etc.
user to copy materials from a desktop or laptop to their handhelds (AvantGo, Mazingo, PalmReader, Acrobat for Palm, Fictionwise (free ebooks), Microtitles, Peanut Press, SciFi.com, Writing on Your Palm)
• USB drives allow easy, person-to-person file trading. Their low price and good size makes them a publishing option.

IV. Pedagogies emergent
Publishing applications
• Palm Education offers more than one hundred educational applications. Nearspace has released several campus life applications. (http://www.nearspace.com/)
• One can roll one's own, as well. For example, UMDuluth wrote applications for its Pocket PC pilot.
• K-12 applications: Cooties, Geney

IV. Pedagogies emergent
Multitasking
• threats: distraction, wandering (NYT article abstract)
• index/stimulus (ECAR study, Slashdot discussion)
• generational issue
• practice: shells down, machines open

IV. Pedagogies emergent
Structural pressures
• IT: support, pedagogy
• Faculty: pedagogy, development, reward
• Students: class participation
• Library: information literacy, db access
• Administration: planning
