Today’s students are a fast-paced, multi-tasking generation that has grown up with multimedia, video games, mobile phones, and the Internet. This has changed the way they absorb and process information. Changed what it takes to engage them. And changed what is required to equip them with the 21st century skills needed for academic excellence and success in the global workforce. The pressure is on for primary and secondary school educators to keep up with a technology-enabled world. This is the new digital divide—the gap between children who use technology as a matter of course, and schools that are just beginning to understand the powerful potential of digital learning.

To bridge the gap, schools worldwide are making technologies like mobile computing as available inside the classroom as they are outside school hours. An investment in mobile PCs brings new life to the learning environment, inspiring students to reach new levels of academic achievement. Educators who take this opportunity to transform learning in their schools are seeing dramatic results—not only with students, but teachers, administrators, and parents as well.
