This week, we've featured one of our favorite articles from "Inside Higher Ed", which talks about how "smartphones and tablets are changing how teachers teach and students learn".

We've featured a personal post from our co-founder, Kavitta Ghai, where she highlights the five most important lessons she learned during her college experience at UCSB.
Do you think your classroom benefits from the availability of technology during lectures, or does it act more as a distraction for students? Understanding and utilizing the types of technology your students are currently using to communicate can make a huge influence on their method of learning.
We have all had a teacher who clearly has areas they could improve in, but we rarely ever tell them. Why wait until teacher evaluations come out at the end of your term when you could have the chance to make a real difference in the quality of your education?
A little over a year ago, we realized that there was a serious problem on campus regarding communication within our classes. Why were we paying thousands of dollars to attend one of the most prestigious universities in the world just to use outdated technology like Gauchospace forums that didn’t solve our problems anyways?
Do you remember what you were told college would be like? Not only from friends and family, but from social media, movies, and more. I remember everything, buying every idea that they sold to me.
Welcome to college. You’ve probably heard everyone say “This is going to be the greatest four years of your life!”, but I sincerely hope they are not. Instead, I hope that these are the most transformative four years that set you up for the greatest life you can possibly live.
