Despite
rocketing acceptance of mobile devices in nearly all aspects of today’s
culture, there are still opponents to this technological phenomenon playing a
practical role in the classroom. However, ask kids what they consider to be
useful tools when it comes to learning and you will quickly find the tablet,
laptop and a variety of new-fangled mobile devices pushing the pen, pencil and
eraser out of the picture. Classroom applications utilizing mobile devices such
as handheld computers, PDA’s and smartphones are assembling tomorrow’s learning
toolboxes in today’s classrooms all across the globe.
Mobile
devices (such as a Pocket PC) in the classroom can be used to enhance group
collaboration among students through communication applications, interactive
displays, and video features. Existing mobile technology is replacing the aged
textbook, visual aids and antiquated-looking overhead projector.
Sibling
Group Holdings focuses on providing services and technology in the field of
education. It operates through two divisions, Educational Management
Organization (EMO) and Technology and Services Group (TSG). The EMO division
provides school management services, primarily within the charter school arena.
The TSG division focuses on the development and deployment of software,
systems, and procedures to enhance the rate of learning in primary and
secondary education. The company also offers online curriculum with 192 master
courses for the K-12 marketplace. Additionally, it provides software to the
public school market that allows for communications between the teacher and the
students using blog-like functionality and professional development courses for
teachers in the area of special education.
In step
with its prominence in the online and mobile education arena, SIBE is executing
on its plan to acquire and integrate the resources of Urban Planet Media &
Entertainment Corporation – a leading innovator of mobile learning based in
Durham, North Carolina. The privately-held mobile media company focuses its
energy in the education and healthcare sectors and is immersed in business
activity in forty countries.
Bearing
the fruits of solid, long-standing partnerships, Sibling Group Holdings through
Urban Planet should realize growing demand for its solutions in the Middle East
and throughout the world. The UAE will become the sixth country to launch Urban
Planet Mobile in the Middle East.
