Editor's Notes
Example of mobile phones and how most young people don’t use predictive text because it is different on different phone models. Therefore they learn to multi-tap so that when they upgrade their phones they can keep texting.Why buy expensive voting pads/systems when a bluetooth enabled phone to PC could perform the same function?
Recharge the Battery – project (Discuss what the actual project is about etc), show some examples of our students work, students can talk about how they found the project etc – this will form part of the live link up via MSN – Stuart Ball has some slides here that I want to capture about the project from the BETT presentation
