At the NSBA T & L Conference in Phoenix I saw a clip provided by Dr. Howie DiBlasi.  The clip; I need my teachers to learn, highlighted what I believe our children are saying. 

As an expert in mobile learning and 12 year veteran of the classroom I have decided to change the discussion from why, to creating logic and tutorials of how mobile devices and programs can be used in schools to better engage students.
