Smartphone applications are set to be the future of online learning, according to one expert. Monica Martinez, director of professional development for the Texas Computer Education Association, which promotes the use of technology in Texas classrooms, said that a lot of people use apps in everyday life and so there is good reason to believe that they can be successfully integrated into education to give learners of all ages a chance to connect their technological knowledge with educational resources. She told the Killeen Daily Herald: “A lot of people use apps in their everyday life. Educators and districts are now realising that they can use these as a tool to transform education.” Commenting on the possibilities associated with implementing technology into learning via smartphone apps, Ms Martinez added: “It would change the face of education. You would be looking at digital learning in nearly every single classroom.”
