This much-anticipated follow-up to the original summit is designed for the K-20 education community to discuss, learn and share best practices in regards to Mobile Learning and how, in a very short time it is changing the face of education. There will be collegial, expert-led discussions, best-practice presentations & demonstrations, vendor and exhibitor displays, and plenty of time for “networking”. We are very excited to be partnering with the Lower Hudson Regional Information Center to offer this event.

This is an excellent opportunity to engage in critical discussions regarding personalized learning, policy implications, network management concerns, and many other topics raised through Mobile Learning Initiatives.
