Your Mobile Is Your Best Teacher!
Martin is 12 years old. Like most of the children of his age, he likes playing games, reading, and goofing around whenever an opportunity to do so presents itself. Take for instance, his assignment on the American history, which is due in two days. That’s also the time when his vacation ends. Martin has already delayed completing his assignment for a long time and he’s beginning to feel the pressure now. However, he stumbles upon a free online course on the American history and downloads a live class recording. He watches the recording on his iPad as he is sitting in the back seat of the car while returning home from his favourite vacation spot. By the time he reaches home, he knows everything he should about the American history. He gets down to work promptly and completes his assignment in a short time.
