APPLE: The world is the new classroom

From the Apple education website. Ok, they might be trying to sell their products but they are quite compelling. Here's some of their highlights:

"There’s no bigger or more important trend in education than mobile learning. Everyone’s talking about how it creates opportunities for learning outside classroom walls — and beyond classroom hours. Mobile learning can help make any subject more relevant and more “real” for students. And it lets institutions reach students scattered across a state or across the world." - Apple

"Think back to the reason you got into education: The chance to make a difference. But to make that difference — and this is more true today than ever — you have to be open to change. You have to be ready to adopt new ideas and recognize new opportunities. Of course, not everyone will embrace these changes. But for those who do, Apple will be there to make amazing things not just possible, but simple. So go ahead and think about what you want for your students and your school a year from now. And ten years after that. Think big. Think bold. Think ahead." - Apple
