Handheld Learning - learning with mobile and ubiquitous technologies

How excellent to see Ed Balls announcement this morning that the government are to support field trips by investing £4m. The premise is to get around the red tape and take away the difficulties with health and safety by providing a kite mark of 'safe and responsible' places which schools can visit without the difficulties.
This really does show how our government are creating opportunities and realising the importance of learning outside the school gates. Lets hope each student has a ubiquious device with them to capture learning!
