Talk: The Mobility Revolution–How the iPad is Changing Education

This free seminar presented by Apple and the Cornell Campus Store at 11am and 2pm on April 12, 2012 will examine how mobile pedagogy represents a fundamental shift in content access and the role of the traditional classroom. This is not about technology fads or the latest gadgets. This is about facing the challenges and maximizing the possibilities of a connected classroom. In addition to exploring the dynamics of a mobility-based education paradigm, the talk will examine the practical implementation strategies, hardware, and support necessary to improve learning opportunity. The session will cover three areas:

• Why do education institutions need to explore mobility theory?
• What does a mobility-rich environment look like?
• How are schools around the world doing this?
