It Takes a Mobile Village to Raise a Mobile Child: Developing Mobile Learning across the Community  

 

Broadband access and mobile devices are poised to transform learning in all spaces, from public education to libraries, government and healthcare.   Anywhere, Anytime learning is prevalent throughout a community for both students and adults.  The panelists will share their experiences in schools, libraries and the community about the link between community anchors, mobile connectivity and the partnerships and planning needed for successful projects providing robust broadband connectivity, sustainable funding sources and community wide support.
