Podcast on Harnessing the Power of Cells - Thursday, April 29

Tonight Willyn Webb and I will be on EdTechTalk discussing how you can use cell phones to enrich teaching and learning even in schools that ban them on Thursday, April 28th. This is a subject that I have gotten in trouble for, discussed on my blog and about which I am writing a book

Here's what we'll be discussing:

• Combating the digital divide with cells
