Use of cell phone in online education is gaining momentum

Technology is playing its role to impart education, keeping

in view online education it has opened new horizon

by introducing Blackboard application on iPhone

It’s amazing to hear children saying, 
“Dad, I want an iPhone to do my homework?” 
despite the fact that it’s an extra burden on 
parent with its $30 a month data plan.
Even at early grade the students are compelling 
their parents to buy them cell phones not only 
to call one another but also to do homework 
because a new iPhone application from Blackboard, a company that helps automate schools and colleges has been launched. Through the application, students can check their homework, e-mail teachers and see their grades, all while listening to music and careening through back lots on a skateboard.
Blackboard is already working with 3,000 schools, colleges and universities, including 400 elementary, middle and high schools. Students, parents and teachers mainly communicate on Web pages. But the company has also developed an application for Facebook. Natch.
Webkinz is also facilitating in this regard. The day is not far when the child will say papa let me go to webkinz where is my homework.
