That this House supports innovation through wireless and mobile technology to tailor learning to students; believes that the integration of fixed and wireless broadband with high speed 3G mobile communications can help deliver the vision of a personal online learning space accessible using laptops and personal digital assistants at a time and place convenient to the learner, as well as encourage better communication, interaction and engagement between parents, teachers and students; recognises the importance of making this available to all schools, colleges and universities across the UK; and urges the Government to take forward the commitment in the Education White Paper to support and promote good practice.
