Blackboard's announcement of their acquisition of TerriblyClever Design, a mobile application developer for education is an interesting one. It looks like mobile learning is gaining steam in the education field now in the U.S. Hopefully we'll see more successful case studies in the near future. I remember seeing examples during a conference a couple of years ago highlighting Japanese students integrating mobile learning, but haven't seen too much since.

I follow Judy Brown on Twitter (judyb) just to keep in touch with the current trends for mobile learning, but haven't dived into exploring too much. She's a great resource for this topic.
Coincidentally, I saw an email come through today with Edweek.org sponsoring a free Webinar.
