Thank you all for some excellent 'food for thought' from the recent postings.

Would any member of the working party care to comment on today's announcement by the Government, granting greater search powers within schools, including confiscation of mobile phones? Does this suggest that mobile enhanced learning is never likely to succeed within our classrooms or is this an opportunity to issue mobile phones within class specifically for learning?

Tomorrow is your last opportunity to discuss this topic. The poll will be open from 6pm (GMT+1 hour) on Thursday July 8th until 9am (GMT+1 hour) on Friday 9th July.

I shall provide a link to the poll url - you simply need to follow the link and select your choice of FOR or AGAINST the motion.

I hope you will consider today's announcements and let us know whether it changes your thoughts on the motion.
