Technology is becoming more and more involved into the Education realm. There are many applications for smart phones that are being introduced to help remind or provide help for students. All kids, even adults now days never leave home without their cell phones. There was a good point in the beginning of the article about challenging one of your friends to wait 10 minutes to look at their phone after it rings from a text message. As easy as this may sound, people today, are constantly on their phones and looking at the messages right away when they hear the ring.
This can be translated directly to the education world. Teachers can provide students with many great apps that will help them be successful in their class. One of the applications was called "Study Boost". Study Boost is an app where students can study for a quiz or a test through text messages. The teacher could set up free accounts for their students and send them questions to help prepare them for an upcoming assessment. Students could also create their own questions they want to study for or that they may still be confused with.
