The ConnectEd Summit being held at Abilene Christian University began yesterday. Few systems have actually implemented handheld learning devices, but I have a feeling we will see a growth in classroom handhelds in the coming months. Not only has Apple developed more than 725 educational apps, many in the educational market are jumping on the bandwagon such as Blackboard and Pearson. We are also seeing new and foreign markets emerge as leaders in the US with products such as StudyWiz out of Australia. Last night’s keynote, Dr. Stephen Molyneaux, Apple Distinguished Educator and one of Europe’s leading experts in the field of technology, urged us to look at what is being done abroad with technology in education where he feels programs are more developed than here in the US.
