Keri Facer @ Handheld Learning 2008

Keri Facer is a professor at the Institute of Education at Manchester Metropolitan University (www.ioe.mmu.ac.uk). Formerly, she was the research director of Futurelab (www.futurelab.org.uk), a non-profit R&D lab that brings together teachers, students, researchers, producers, artists, technologists, etc., to create new models of education for the 21st century. Keri talks about the potential for mobile technology to connect virtual information with physical spaces. She also suggests that we consider alternative reality games and places like Blast Theory (www.blasttheory.co.uk) and Mixed Reality Lab (www.mrl.nott.ac.uk) for ideas about how to innovate in schools.
