Today's Message

Join your colleagues for a look at the challenges of mobile applications and tablet computing in the education field during this session on Wednesday, February 22, at noon in E. H. Butler Library 181B.

At the 2011 Mobile World Congress, Google CEO Eric Schmidt noted that for every baby born that year, 30 Android phones would be activated. As more people incorporate these devices into their lives, it also disrupts many of the traditional teaching methods. Students can use their mobile apps as graphing calculators, but they can also use the same devices to look up answers. At the same time there is a growing trend to incorporate these devices into our education. We will discuss some current trends and challenges these technologies pose to the education field. Presented by Ken Fujiuchi. A light lunch will be provided.
