Describe your research project in this space: //'Will hand held devices facilitate a shift from from bounded, scheduled environments, enabling a greater platform for children to become more creative, independent learners?' (take a breath!)//

This was later refined to the following question/ sub question: How does the use of iPod touches encourage independent learning? Does the use of hand held learning devices cause a shift in pedagogical approaches to teaching?

why have you selected this particular focus for your handheld learning project? I have selected this focus as I have a keen interest in the development of children's creativity and see this as an opportunity to gain some insight into the process children go through to create. The use of the ipod touches offer, in my opinion, a valuable tool for harnessing and encouraging creativity as well as allowing teachers to focus on teaching skills and not knowledge in areas of the curriculum.

describe what the project will do during the first year (2011-2012)

explain how you intend to research this project in 2011-2012
