The mobile classroom

The new science of how to get to grips with a mobile phone is on the curriculum at a South Yorkshire college!

Lessons on texting, how to use internet facilities, phone calculators, settings and games are replacing the 'text' books on a course in Rotherham, reports Sheffield Today.

The course is also aimed at those people who have never used a mobile phone before and also the elderly, who may be more reluctant accepting texting.
