 My name is Tony Vincent and I have been interested in using whatever technologies at hand for teaching and learning. From desktops to palm pilots to netbooks to iPod touches to smart phones to tablets to Chromebooks. I know there's potential to engage and empower learners of all ages. Many schools have carts of iPads or have gone one-to-one with laptops and other mobile devices, a technology that was once banned as now being welcomed into classrooms with bring-your-own-device policies. Equipping students with technology certainly brings interesting opportunities and new challenges. In 2010, Katherine Burdick approached me and said we should organize an event in Arizona where educators could gather to discuss the power and potential of new mobile technologies for learning. We asked the K-12 Center to help us because they are a non-profit organization dedicated to improving schools through professional development. They agreed and the first mobile learning experience happened in April 2011. It was an amazing experience gathering nearly 200 educators from across the country. We even had some international participants. It was so successful that nearly 300 attended mobile 2012. The educators who attended appreciated the size of the event, the upscale venue, and the time to network, especially during catered meals. Once again, I'm working with Katherine Burdick in the Arizona K-12 Center to bring you mobile learning experience 2013. It will be held September 16th through the 18th at the Weston Law Paloma Resort in Tucson, Arizona. We're planning for 400 participants. Mobile 2013 features dozens of breakout and workshop sessions addressing so many aspects of mobile learning. I can already hear the biggest complaint from the event. Too many fantastic sessions happening at once. I invite teachers, technology coaches, and administrators to mobile learning experience 2013, whether you're new to mobile learning or you already know lots and are hankering to learn more. Visit mobile2013.org to read more about our conference and about our keynote speakers, and I do hope to see you in September.
