GoKnow - Mobile Learning Devices

GoKnow - Mobile Learning Devices in the Classroom
Check it out!  http://www.vzwbusinesstools.com/mobilelearning/mobile-learning-devices-in-the-classroom/ How exciting is it to have technology in the classroom that creates an excitement among teachers and students alike? I know that many of my fellow future educators would agree that technology in the classroom gives students the cutting edge for future employment as our world is developing extremely fast. The idea that students can and will use such devices in the work place helps me become excited and want to teach in the most proficient way. As in the video, students protect their mobile devices and are responsible because they don't want to do schoolwork the old fashion way "Pencil and Paper!"

This can be a win win situation - the initial cost for the devices may seen expensive but the lack of text books, paper, pencil and other resource every year would be cut to a minimum. A high school student could be assigned the device at the beginning of the school year with conditions and maintain the device through the four years of high school with an option to purchase. New technology is always on the horizon and teaching our students to be prepare will help them be successful in life.
