2. SIG Event: Mobile Learning: The 10 Barriers to Adoption

   May 24, 2012

   SIGML Webinar: At the start of this school year, mobile learning was the new hot topic. At the close of this school year, mobile learning has only increased in its hotness. Apple says there are 1.5 million iPads in K-12 schools in the U.S. Android tablets, with a camera and accelerometer, are available from less than $100. Very enticing! But helicoptering in technology has never been a productive and sustainable pedagogical strategy. In our webinar, we identify the 10 barriers to mobile learning adoption and discuss techniques we see schools employing to break down those barriers. Food for thought as we prepare for 2012-2013 and beyond.

   When: Thursday, May 24, 2012 at 7pm ET / 6pm CT/ 5pm MT/ 4pm  PT
   Where: Pre-register for Mobile Learning: The 10 Barriers to Adoption.

   Presenters: Elliot Soloway and Cathleen A. Norris
