Students can make their mobile devices personal, which means they have access to information and tools necessary to succeed in school when they need it the most. For some students, wireless means taking classes that aren’t offered at their schools through distance learning programs. Overall, this new educational experience, commonly referred to as mobile learning or mLearning, promotes critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and other life skills that will help students succeed in our highly competitive and global society. According to a National Education Association (NEA) policy brief, when technology is integrated in the curriculum, there’s a direct correlation in improving a child’s achievement, motivation and enthusiasm since students and teachers are more engaged. Anecdotally, I hear inspiring stories from parents, educators, administrators, and kids on how wireless technology is helping students learn.
