The 21st Century Classroom Powered by Wireless Technology
If you’re interested in advancing the industrial-era educational system into one that is more appropriate for the 21st century, the International Conference on Teaching and Learning with Technology 2012 (iCTLT) held in late March in Singapore was the place to be.
Helping High School Correspondence Students Earn Diplomas
Do you believe in giving people second chances? We do. We also value education. That’s why Qualcomm, through our Wireless Reach™ initiative, is collaborating with Renaissance Academy, a private correspondence high school in Japan, on a pioneering project that leverages 3G technologies to help high school dropouts re-engage in learning and earn their diplomas.
Wireless Mobile Technology Brings Positive Changes to Education
As a great precursor to Wireless EdTech 2011 this October, the ISTE 2011 (International Society for Technology in Education) conference held this June was a massive gathering of the best and brightest in a variety of fields relating to education technology. Conferences such as these provide the perfect grounds for leaders, who would not otherwise cross paths, to meet and discover ways to collaborate on how to best integrate technology into the classroom
E-rate Funds Go Mobile
Hats off to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for allotting E-rate funds to explore how providing students with discounted mobile broadband access off school grounds can improve education at our nation’s public schools. The “E-rate Deployed Ubiquitously 2011 Pilot Program” (EDU2011) will enable 35,000 students at 14 schools in 20 states to benefit from anywhere, anytime learning.
Helping Migrant Children Succeed
If you’ve ever changed schools as a child, you know how hard it can be. Different teachers and curriculum. Different academic achievement standards. Different graduation requirements. Plus the challenge of making new friends and fitting into a different social environment.
