think outside the school: the mobile future of education
DESCRIPTION
This is a part of a presentation I delivered on Friday, October 24th, 2014 to the British Columbia Business Educators Association (BCBEA) on the mobile future of education. I believe strongly that students must be encouraged to learn digital business and entrepreneurship skills outside of the classroom using all the incredible free learning resources available on their laptops, smartphones and tablets. There has never been a better time to "think outside the school" and create a new generation of passionate, self-directed learners and entrepreneurs that are skilled up for the 21st century digital economy. The mobile learning future is now!TRANSCRIPT

“The smartphone in your pocket today is a million times cheaper and a million times smaller, and a thousand time more powerful
than a $60 Million dollar supercomputer was in 1970.”
