Mobile technology. Fifteen years ago, most home computers weren't even linked to the Internet. Today, our computers are both linked and, in many cases, mobile. With more than five billion mobile users worldwide and a massive global network, small mobile devices with significant computing power have become a routine part of day-to-day life for people of all ages.

"The internet is awash with exciting and innovative tools, and your students have grown up immersed in this world - get in on the act.

Most have access to iPads and smartphones as well as textbooks and, therefore, the massive resource of the internet."
