Sesame Street workshop and mobile learning

Technologies made possible by advances such as the OMVC standard must be harnessed for educational applications as well, points out educational foundation The Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop. The group released a new study which found that mobile learning technology may represent the next frontier for educators if effective educational content and support is developed for these new platforms. Findings and recommendations of Pockets of Potential: Using Mobile Technologies to Promote Children's Learning include the call for:
Government investment in R&D to assess the impact mobile technologies have on children's learning and development
Establishment of a Digital Teachers Corps to prepare educators how to use digital media
Creation of a White House Initiative on Digital Learning
Introduction of mobile devices in schools, beginning with an experimentation phase in which teachers are trained for integrating interactive mobile media
