Mobile Learning in China, Why Not All Over
There was a recent report at Textually about an effort where Nokia is working with New Oriental Education and Technology Group Inc. to extend the ability to learn to mobile devices.
My first thought of this was "wow, neat." More people will have access to educational materials (considering that there are over 2.5 billion mobile phones worldwide). But then my second thought was sure there, but why not all over.
I know that many who do missions usually take the approach of going to teach in schools and other areas of need so that the community is not just edified with the Word, but they have an ability to sustain themselves economically. Could such an approach with mobile tech be done in other areas of the world besides China? And if so, what effect could that have on making the mission experience/field relevant for more than just the Gospel, but for giving life to communities?
