There was a time when college students actually carried books to school. To own a laptop was a privilege, tablets and smartphones were virtually nonexistent, and only the tech geeks were the ones perpetually connected online.
What a difference a decade makes.
These days, it would be a novelty to see a student scribbling notes on actual paper; everyone’s busy tapping on keyboards. You’d be hard pressed to see coeds without their phones in hand, listening to their iPods and poking around on their tablets. Everyone is plugged in, 24/7. Schools get that. And as a result, they are revamping the way technology is used to ensure that students maximize its potential for a better college and campus experience.
