The proof is in the numbers!

Today, people are relying on mobile devices to provide them with information as it happens. No matter where you are, someone is using a smartphone, tablet or other mobile device - it might even be you. Here are some eye opening statistics:

• “91% of U.S. adults now own a mobile phone. 61% of those are smartphones.”

• “189 million Facebook users (almost one out of five) are mobile-only, and mobile use accounts for 30% of Facebook ad revenue.”

• “25% of Americans use mobile devices (primarily tablets) only to access the Internet.”

• “There are five times as many cellphones in the world as there are PCs.”

• “Nearly half of consumers say they won’t return to a website if it doesn’t load properly on their mobile devices.”

• “99% of mobile messages are read. 90% are read within 3 minutes.”

Looking at the few statistics listed, it is critical for schools and education institutions to make certain that they are using mobile communication to engage with their education communities.

If schools today are not using a wide variety of mobile ready technological solutions and social media tools to communicate, they risk not being heard. Families, students, and staff are missing out on important information and schools are not creating the relationships they need for student success.
