Can the iPhone Change Education?

[ 1 ] March 9, 2010 |

In case you missed the article back in December , Wired’s How the iPhone Could Reboot Education  reported on an innovative pilot program at Abilene Christian University.

1,000 freshman each received an iPhone or iPod.  The program allowed the University to see how their “always on” student population and devices shaped the way students lived, studied and learned.  With the iPad coming out, will this be one of the new platforms of higher education?

    I wouldn't say that the iPhone or iPad itself will innovate education, but I'm a firm believer that mobile & tablet technology as a whole has amazing potential!
