Information Technology has become a part of our everyday life. Everywhere we turn, we see adults and children walking around with their mp3 players and mobile phones; making phone calls, listening to music, taking pictures and videos and constantly sending text messages and surfing the web. These different technologies have opened new opportunities and creative ways for supporting teaching and learning. The downside is the fact that most of these technologies and applications developed have not had the teaching or the learning perspective in mind. In this paper, some initial thoughts and problematic issues concerning some of the changes we are observing in the educational sector and learning environments will be raised and discussed. These ideas are based on observations and interviews conducted as part of our on ongoing projects with schools in the Växjö region in Sweden in which we are exploring different ways to support novel ways of teaching and learning with mobile technologies and social media.
