All across the country, more and more educational institutions are starting to integrate technology. Technology can be used for all sorts of things in a classroom from textbooks to reference material for projects.

Blackboard has announced a new iPhone and mobile web offering that supports a student’s mobile lifestyle. The MobileEdu platform lets students access a set of campus life services and content on mobile devices that is branded for each educational institution.

Using the application with a participating school allows the students to browse course catalogs, campus maps, email teachers, and classmates and get real-time update son course schedules. The app also provides access to iTunes U, YouTube, or other custom video content including course lectures.
