Abilene Christian University is recognized as the world leader in mobile learning and as a former part of that organization I know how hard we worked to be able to justify that message. I am now very excited to see that others have portrayed ACU in the same way. I was also fortunate enough to play a role in ACU’s Mobile Learning Initiative and worked closely with all the people in the following videos.
The Texas Education Agency has create a site called POWER ON TEXAS which is intended to be a space for administrators and educators to discover how classrooms across the state are harnessing technology to boost student achievement and teacher effectiveness.
