Our collective skills are always improving. Our schools will be able to collaborate across the world in real time. Students will be able to directly experience other cultures in the classroom. As performance rises and costs fall, mobile PCs are overtaking desk-top computers as the learning tools of choice for educators. Students work on classroom assignments seamlessly whether at home or at school.
Teachers find the immediate access to their students helpful.
Being able to quickly target the information they need hones their ability to do research and improves their efficiency. A Fundamental Change in Teaching and Learning Students who use mobile PCs apply active learning strategies and critical thinking skills in more effective ways than students who don t have mobile computers. Mobile computers have also changed the way teachers teach. Rather than delivering lectures, teachers can direct students in project-oriented activities and concentrate on curriculum development. Individualized active learning becomes a real possibility.
