Mobile computers and wireless networks allow students to have access to information anywhere, anytime. Because the world is a knowledge-based economy, a wireless mobile environment is becoming necessary to give students access to information all the time. Advances in technology require faculty to be responsive to new methods of teaching and become skilled in various aspects of information technology using Tablet laptop computers. Because students have a computer in front of them all the time in the classroom (1 to 1), new methods of teaching are required to keep students engaged in the content and what is happening in the classroom.
