Hi All,

Thought you would want to know about this fantastic project in the States being run by my friend Shawn Gross from Digital Millennial Consulting.

This is an extensive and exciting project featuring the mass rollout of Windows Smartphones. It will also involve learners as content creators.

"Project K-Nect is designed to create a supplemental resource for secondary at-risk students to focus on increasing their math skills through a common and popular technology – mobile smartphones.  Ninth graders in several public schools in the State of North Carolina will receive smartphones to access supplemental math content aligned with their teachers’ lesson plans and course objectives.  Students also will have the opportunity to communicate and collaborate with each other and access tutors outside of the school day to help them master math skills and knowledge.  The smartphones and service will be free of charge to the students and their schools due to a USD $1 million grant provided by QUALCOMM, as part of its Wireless Reach™ initiative."

Please check out the website for more details

This will really be one to watch folks!!

Good Luck Shawn   Cool
