Mobility is a much talked about trend in education these days. Wireless installations, laptops, handheld computers, and iPods are the common subjects of pilot studies, articles, and new educational products. The problem is that mobility as technology — disconnected from content — remains simply another tool that is only loosely integrated with the core educational mission.
