Remember when you would struggle to print and lose points because of printer and ink struggles!? Today's students don't. Email is even becoming unnecessary with software like Blackboard they can just push a button to turn in their homework.

4. Study Apps

Not only can students study for important tests (like the ACT) from their phones, they can email, call or chat with support on issues they are having!

3. Cloud Storage

Remember how hard it was to do a group project when you were young?! Now students can collaborate while one is on a bus to a track meet and the other two are each sitting in their respective bedrooms.

Oh and the teacher can view the revision history to see who added what!

2. Content Distribution
