Doodling with some ideas ahead of a conference call this morning, I ended up with the above chart. If what the chart says is essentially true, great change for education will happen soon. One of the most interesting new drivers — which may be the tipping point that cascades mobile learning — is the burgeoning adoption of mobiles in education for safety. The irony is astounding because safety was once a major fright (that kids would see porn and be found by pedophiles). It is now understood that small children can keep in touch with guardians using the mobiles and that campus alerts for older students are most effective through the mobiles they carry. Will reading, writing, arithmetic and academics not soon follow into the kids’ pockets on their mobiles? The chart sets out a time frame for that happening.
