Education has entered the Post-PC era; a time when mobile technology has ushered in a change to the way faculty teach and students learn. Mobility has many advantages, and tablet devices like the iPad have provided us with a sort of renaissance as we are freed from the constraints of the personal computer. Specifically, mobility increases engagement, eases collaboration amongst all members of a campus, and encourages creativity by teachers and students. By bringing together up-to-date research, with best practices from successful mobile 1:1 initiatives, this forward-looking session will present insights into what’s possible in the Post-PC era. So I ask the question, will my own children ever own a laptop? Could Conner (12), Liam (10) and Keagan (8) be part of a new generation? #laptopnevers
