Cool Tools for School

What better way to brush up on material for a pop quiz or exam than while walking to class or working out? Students at many universities are now downloading and reviewing lectures or supplemental course materials recorded in audio format. Their phone’s video function permits students to view course materials, from video supplements to book chapters. More schools are beginning to make use of digital textbooks when possible because they often are half the price of a printed book!

The phone’s web browser provides portable access to the World Wide Web and the many resources that can be found there for homework answers and research for papers. More and more schools are sending information directly to students’ phones to assist them with the locations of classrooms, access to student services and progress assessments (instead of waiting for mid-terms or semester grades).

Let’s face it… education is so much more than what goes on in the classroom! Your phone can give you instant access to your favorite social networking services to keep up with your friends on the go. Combined with GPS capabilities, you can quickly find the location of your classmates to get help with that last homework problem ;)

For parents, you can finally keep up with your students! With AT&T FamilyMap, you can schedule automatic updates to notify you that your student arrived home from school safely. Or quickly check to see if they’re still at football practice while you run one last errand.

Stop by and let us show you how to make this the best school year ever!
