Networks and apps augment traditional student experience

Implications - Students today have much more at their disposal than students of any other time. Along with traditional resources, contemporary learners have at their fingertips the ability to connect to other students via social networks and apps, which may help them in a variety of ways, from crowdsourcing solutions to math problems to getting live tutoring help. As an increasing number of students embrace this form of connected studying, an opportunity arises for more types of social media-based services and tools aimed at the modern learner.

2. Mobile-based Tutors - Opportunity to replace human interaction with virtual mobile homework assistant services.
3. Connected Video Networking - Opportunity to develop innovative live video social networking websites that allow users to connect with people in new and exciting ways.
Industry Implications

2. Technology - Industry that can benefit from the development of mobile-based tutors and other tech innovations that revolutionize the way kids learn.
3. Social Media - Industry that can benefit from the integration of social media into everyday objects, as well as from connected video networking sites that appeal to consumers and create new business opportunities.
