Handheld Public Services
Written by Alistair Norman on Tuesday, 03 May 2005
surgeon.jpgEmploying almost one million people (or around 780,000 WTE),the NHS is the biggest single employer in the country. Nationally, the Police service employs in excess of 250,000 staff. The Fire and Rescue Services provide a 24 hour a day, 365 days a year service to all areas of the country, attending thousands of incidents a year. Given the scale of these organisations, the pressures they work under, and the complex information needs they have in doing their jobs, it is no surprise that they have taken to information technology like ducks to water. And it is also no surprise that, as mobile technologies have become available and matured, that they have also adopted these tools in the pursuit of greater effectiveness, improved efficiency and increased flexibility.(2) Leave a Comment

Lightweight gadget with a Heavyweight effect
Written by Peter Broome on Tuesday, 03 May 2005
edupalm.jpgFor years (decades, even) I carried a large ring folder to every class.  It contained class lists, records of what each class and each pupil had done, copies of the workschemes, and pictures of particularly good projects (so I could show those who’d managed to miss the inspiration that my introductions had engendered in their colleagues).  Oh, and I carried a diary, to remind me of meetings that I absolutely had to attend, for fear of being volunteered for something appalling, or of missing the (rare) important announcement or educational idea.

I still see people equipped like that; their PlannerDiary clutched under their arm, stuffed full of extra papers – all very important notes that must be acted upon urgently.  “How quaint”, think I, and reminiscences of how it used to be come flooding back.
