Plan to attend today's Making Learning Mobile 3.0 webinar!

The final results from our three-year long Making Learning Mobile study are finally here! Join Julie Evans (Project Tomorrow) and Michael Flood (Kajeet) at 1pm PT/4pm ET today for a webinar featuring the results from our Making Learning Mobile 3.0 study with Kajeet, which takes an in-depth look at the impact of 1-to-1 tablet implementation, including Internet access outside the classroom, with Chicago Public Schools students. Click here to register for today's webinar.

You can also sign up to download a copy of the report and read the official press release. Check out some key findings from the Making Learning Mobile 3.0 study below:
  • Use of technology at home increased year-over-year. Sixty-nine percent of the 5th graders used the Internet-enabled tablets every day, at school and home, to support their learning this year, whereas last year, 51 percent of the students reported they rarely or never used technology at home to support schoolwork or homework assignments while in 4th grade.
  • Falconer Elementary students had the highest percentage of 5th graders scoring at or above the national average RIT (Rasch Unit) in math compared to other comparable Chicago schools, according to the Northwest Evaluation Association’s Measures of Academic Progress® (MAP®) assessment scores.
  • Within one class of the cohort, the students’ average RIT score in math improved by 11.26 points from the spring 2014 to spring 2015- this was 24 percent higher than the overall 5th grade at the school.
  • Students identified a change in their learning behaviors that resulted in increased learning opportunities. Sixty-eight percent stated they were more likely to complete homework assignments with Internet-enabled tablets and 76 percent said they had a greater interest in learning.
