Mobile Opportunities in Education

Mobile Monday DC and Microsoft invite you to attend Mobile In Education - How the Mobile Channel Impacts Lifelong Learning.

On March 19th, at the Microsoft offices in Chevy Chase, leaders from the technology, university, and non-profit industries will discuss how the mobile channel engages lifelong learners, as well as their predictions for how tools and technologies will evolve.  The event, which is free and open to the public, also features the talented team from Profiles.  We will also continue to collect recycled cell phones for Grameen Foundation, please remember your phone donation!
