Currently , three schools in the Richmond area are taking part in a revolutionary M-Learning project which will involve pupils using mobile phones . The scheme started three months ago and since then students have been very motivated to take part in the project .

The UK has one of the highest numbers of mobile phone users , with about 80% of house- holds owning at least one . A growing number of phones have internet connections and the latest handsets offer multimedia messaging services ( MMS) like picture messaging .These phones have a tiny digital camera that can be used for taking pictures ( along with text and sound clips ) which can be viewed on other MMS handsets , a PC screen or a web page .

They are a lot easier to use than computers and are pocketable , so that you can take them almost any where .

Students can use the phones to get access to learning materials and for foreign languages ; there are endless possibilities . Mobiles can also be used for field trips and outdoor activities where students make calls with their mobiles and send pictures back to friends working at school .
