In 2008, the Department of Education’s Office of Educational Technology (OET) received funding from the Governor’s Productivity Investment Fund to launch Learning without Boundaries. This initiative studies the potential benefits of incorporating wireless mobile handheld technology into teaching and learning. While the project work continues, the year one report is now available at http://www.lwbva.org/LwB_Report_2008-09.pdf.
