Can the iPad Rescue a Struggling American Education System? | Gadget Lab

See on Scoop.it – M-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications

Tablets are reinventing how students access and interact with educational material, and how teachers assess and monitor students’ performance at a time when many schools are understaffed and many classrooms overcrowded.

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

This is a MUST READ article about the progress of m-learning in the past year. I just started delving into m-learning this time last year, and it’s great to see it becoming more mainstream as time passes. It need to be more mainstream, so the mobile revolution continues…I found this via Apple’s website, so you know they are happy with how much the iPad is being adopted. I love mine, and I’m always trying to encourage my son to use it to help him with some of his schoolwork or to look up information he’s wanting to learn.
