GESF 2014 Panel Discussion: Leveraging mobile technology

Panel Discussion: Leveraging mobile technology, social media and gaming to improve education Of the 7 billion people in the world, 6 billion now have access to a working mobile phone. This popularity, especially in areas facing the most urgent educational challenges, creates new opportunities for improving education access and quality. Similarly, the expansion of social media tools like Facebook and the development of social gaming platforms have radically changed the way people interact and communicate, with the potential to positively transform the learning experience and environment. This session will discuss how mobile technology and digital platforms can be leveraged to enrich education and extend its reach. It will showcase examples of how new technology and media have enhanced educational attainment for the most marginalized groups and look at ways to take proven good practice to scale.
