The document discusses how classrooms are evolving thanks to new technologies like smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Students will soon trade pencils for these mobile devices, enabling mobile or mLearning where education can be accessed online anywhere and anytime. This new paradigm allows students more flexibility in how, when, and where they take courses. It also facilitates intergenerational learning as older generations learn to use these technologies from younger family members. A variety of new programming languages are also part of this evolution in education, and mobile devices are driving higher quality global standards in mLearning.
