Mobiles for Education Alliance

This looks good and I am looking forward to hearing more... an initiative that aims to

  • Bring together institutions and organizations for support of mobile technologies in education;
  • Spread awareness of the available, accessible and affordable mobile technology tools;
  • Spur the innovation, affordability, and accessibility of mobile tech for improved learning; and
  • Explore opportunities to jointly fund specific activities of shared interests.




The initiative will:
  • Conduct International Workshops, Conferences and Symposia
  • Convene Research Roundtable Discussions which highlight cutting-edge research
  • Conduct Monthly Seminar Series with focus on specific topics and/or projects which show promise in improving learning outcomes with mobile technologies.
  • Support the formation of Working Groups focused on beneficiary groups, geographic areas or educational themes
