Mobile is a Must

Mobile is a Must

What makes these authentic, intimate learning opportunities possible? Mobile technologies. Mobile devices provide the platform and, as importantly, the incentive for students to take personal ownership of the learning experience. The lessons absorbed form deep connections for students and add to their cognitive framework in ways that no lecture ever could.

So what is all of this doing for K-12 education? Nothing short of disrupting and transforming the established teaching and learning paradigm. To start, mobile technology is helping to solve the two challenges facing education today: students' desire to learn differently, and students' need to learn differently.

Will Smart Phones Eliminate the Digital Divide?

Hulu.com - on demand tv

Privacy - kids don't care

Twitter - a different kind of population - average age 35 - average income 75,000
