Technology has brought us a lot of good things. It has a huge impact on our daily lives whether we like it or not. Science has helped us communicate better, eat better and improve every aspect of our lives. Unless you live in a rock, you might have noticed that most of the television sets are now bigger, all household appliances are digital and laptops are powerful and even lighter.

Nowadays, phones are really “smarter.” That is why mobile apps have become really popular and in demand. Mobile apps can be used by virtually anyone – business professionals, students and even children.

How Can Schools Use Mobile Apps?

The use of smartphones and tablets among faculty and students is increasing. Schools are capitalizing on this trend by developing and releasing personalized education apps. In fact, top universities like Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Duke University have their own mobile education apps.

Harvard University’s mobile application is a robust app which delivers a lot of information. The school developed the app to improve the communication of the faculty, students, alumni and even visitors. It is used to distribute useful information such as the campus map, shuttle tracker, the latest Harvard news from the Harvard Gazette, complete course catalog, campus events and more.  The app delivers some of the fun stuff such as videos, sports information, and dining hot spots in and around the campus. Furthermore, the app highlights Harvard’s tweets and Facebook updates.
