Learn
 * The analog, 20th century curriculum that most classrooms deliver doesn't fit well with the realities of the exploding mobile, digital world.
 * Kids are stuck in a paper-based, local-learning system that doesn't acknowledge the global, networked, always-on opportunities that mobile access affords.
 * There are still better technology options for constructive, meaningful learning that provide power and flexability that phones can't, like laptops.
 * For many kids right now, especially lower income, these devices are their only connections to the content and people who can help them learn great things.
