In an article titled It’s not always over when the bell rings, Recordnet.com here rounds up some facts on how kids are continuing learning in their time outside of their class schedules in some example after-school programs. A sample fact from the article is:

In 2002, California voters approved a ballot initiative that, combined with previous funding, would direct as much as $550 million toward after-school programs for the state’s students.

Mobile learning offers on-demand any time after-school learning for each student who is participating. When learning assets are in his or he pocket, it is possible to pull out the device and do some learning any time. Numbers like $500 million can do a lot to put those mobiles into students’ pocket.
