Posted by Judy Breck on October 25, 2007

TED Talks: Ideas worth spreading is a series of videos recently made available online from the distinguished conference series of the same name. To go to the TED page where you can watch a talk on the mobile future by top researcher Jan Chipchase of Nokia: click here.
The image above is from the screen behind Chipchase. He says that connections & consequences is the theme for what he describes in the talk. He speaks for 19 minutes and does not mention school safety directly or talk about schools. He describes more fundamentally how mobiles are becoming how connections are made. The mobile principles and phenomena he touches on often have strong implications and insights for the world of schooling both now and in the future. For school safety, connections and their consequences can only be major — and personal mobiles of teachers, administrators, parents and students are certain to play big roles.
If you have the time to listen to the talk, we think you will find it interesting and useful background for planning toward the future.
