AT&T infusion to fund K-12 professional development for mobile learning — from The Journal by David Nagel

An infusion of nearly $2 million has been awarded to Abilene Christian University to help it expand its mobile learning programs, including a K-12 teacher professional development initiative focused on the use of mobile technologies in teaching.

ACU, a private institution in Texas, launched its ConnectED mobile learning initiative back in 2008 and currently centers it around Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch devices. The overall goals of the initiative include fostering greater engagement of students and enhancing teaching and research through technology, as well as building connections between ACU and its community and other academic institutions.

The $1.8 million AT&T grant–being provided by AT&T subsidiaries and affiliates–will help build the infrastructure and provide financing and resources to support three programs operating under the umbrella of the mobile learning initiative: the K-12 Professional Development Institute, the Mobile Learning Research Program, and the AT&T Learning Studio.
