Education

Mobile Citizen has been bringing instructional programming to schools since its inception. Working with schools is at our core. That is why we are now so excited to further help K12, higher education and distance learning institutions who need affordable, secure access to the Internet or online educational curriculum, and teachers who want to offer mobile learning experiences as a way to inspire students.

In additional to making it affordable, we want to make it easy for a single school or an entire district to get started. Mobile Citizen provides mobile broadband planning support in customizing a pilot program or assisting in a larger scale roll-out.

• For K12 students, our broadband service extends the school day giving them the opportunity to securely connect and learn beyond the classroom, anytime.
• For teachers who want to integrate mobility into selective learning experiences, and bring a new level of enthusiasm to their students, our broadband service provides the medium.
• For college students -- either on or off-campus-based students, our mobile broadband service provides the freedom to access their academic coursework, the Internet and social networks anytime.
• For students enrolled in distance learning program, we provide reliable broadband access to on-line course curriculum including assessment tools, video conferencing and universal messaging applications from any location, 24 hours a day.
• For school districts implementing 1:1 computing programs, their students use the broadband service in an environment where technology enhances learning and achievement in core academic subjects.

• Allows for broadcast notifications to be sent, improving emergency response times with the delivery of mission or life-critical information.
• Facilitates evacuation notification and mobile access to emergency contact databases.
