Wi-Fi Turns Bus Into Study Hall

I have a an interest in how mobile technology is used in education, which is why this New York Times story caught my eye.

It has been a very long time since I have ridden on a school bus, but I recall that it can be noisy and otherwise cause problems for bus drivers. The Times article emphasizes how well behaved the students are on the bus with Internet access, because the students are busy either working on their studies or entertaining themselves.

The bus’ Internet connection is provided using Autonet
