Take-Aways

  • Mobile technology is changing the ways students gain access to, share and assimilate information.
  • Mobile technology in the classroom personalizes education. Teachers can tailor it to each student’s learning style, skills and interests, and it is available on demand.
  • Educators use mobile tools to track how well and how quickly students learn. This information helps teachers recognize which students need extra help, or, alternately, greater challenges.
