Mobile Learning Makes its Mark
Education Week is reporting that mobile handheld devices is making its mark in the K-12 Education world. The article states:
The latest shift in the landscape is the growing use of portable technology tools for learning. Mobile devices such as smartphones and iPods, still seen as nuisances or contraband by many schools, are now viewed by an increasing number of teachers and administrators as cost-effective tools to build and sustain 1-to-1 computing programs.
Here in New Jersey the Governor has slashed state aid in a way that has never happened in recent memory. These cuts will make it difficult for schools to sustain their technology initiatives. Using student cell phones as 1:1 computing devices is a creative way to assist with the budget crunch.
