I found this short clip at TED on the first full-length interactive book for the iPad, iPod and iPhone. At this point there is no app for Android based devices but I don’t imagine it is too far off.
At Duke University, a Sociology Field research course used iPads for research on Global Health fieldwork. Jen’nan Read, Professor of Sociology, and Marc Sperber, Educational Technologies Consultant, both with the Duke Global Health Institute, share their experiences.
iPads and Ethnographic Field Materials: Using mobile technology for multisensory fieldnotes and social media for collaborative field research

Cynthia Powell, Instructor, Chemistry/Biochemistry – ACU
This conversation explored the use of iPhones/iPod touches to support teaching and learning in the Chemistry laboratory and classroom. A variety of experiences accrued during three years of using these devices to deliver content, search for information, record data and respond during class activities is discussed. Cynthia B. Powell is a faculty member in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Abilene Christian University. Her recent chemistry education research has been focused on the effectiveness of podcasts delivered via mobile devices as a scaffolding tool to support inquiry-based chemistry laboratory curriculum. She’s also one of the co-recipients of a Gates Foundation/Educause New Generation Learning Challenges Grant for “mobile enhanced” online science courses.

Ronald Yaros is professor of multimedia journalism in the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland. His work focuses on how audiences engage with digital information. A natural extension for the research is investigating how mobile devices can be used in higher ed. Beginning in the spring of 2010, his pioneering blended course, “Information 3.0,” began exploring mobile learning. A more complete description of his project is at http://mobility.umd.edu/faculty_engagement/Yaros.html
I came across this article in last week’s Georgia Straight. Welcome to the education chat room There are a number of examples of the use of technology in the classroom and how it might further engage instructors and students. I found the Glen Lowry’s comments regarding “digital natives” to be of interest as a number of my students commented on how intuitive technology is for the children growing up today. They didn’t seem to identify themselves as part of the digital native group.
