Exploring the use of mobile technology in education and life
I am an assistant principal at a public high school. I have worked in education for 25 years. Prior to my current position I served as a math department supervisor. For six years before that I was a district technology coordinator. My first 17 years in education were spent as a mathematics and computer science teacher.
I have a BA in Mathematics from The King's College, a Graduate Certificate in Instructional Technology from Georgian Court University, and a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership from Fairleigh Dickinson University.

Web 2.0 Summit
Smartphone technology is ramping faster than any tech cycle I've seen in modern times ...
The Web 2.0 Summit took place this year in San Francisco in late October. In an article in the USA Today, summarizing the event, Mary Meeker, an influential technology analyst at Morgan Stanley, had this to say:
Smartphone technology — a PC in your pocket — “is ramping faster than any tech cycle I’ve seen in modern times”
“That this is all happening in a recession is a very good thing to happen to our industry,” she added.
According to the article it is all about Mobile. The article states that if you don't own an iPhone, Android, or Palm Pre yet, you will in the near future.
Some other take aways for mobile phones from the conference are the following:
-Using your phone to make payments for movies or food at a restaurant
-Unlock and start your car using your phone
