Ubiquitous Mobility

Mobile devices have been a central conversation piece at the K12 Technology Summit over the past three years, and their influence only continues to grow. While the near ubiquitous presence of internet-enabled devices is still a relatively young trend, some now see it as a more cost-efficient alternative to what was once considered the holy grail of K12 Technology: the one-to-one initiative. The notion of Bring-Your-Own-Device continues to gain traction, and the new generation of tablets, which are both more economic and less cumbersome than laptops, offer a compelling range of capabilities. Whatever their respective preference may be, K12 CIOs can all agree that an overarching mobile learning strategy is crucial to unlocking the transformative potential of mobile devices.

We look forward to continuing this conversation at this year’s summit, by first looking at the key pieces to a mobile strategy and then breaking out into smaller discussion groups on the various models, including BYOD, tablets and traditional 1:1 computing. To get the dialogue going, hear what some of our previous presenters had to say on this topic.
