Mobile Devices: From Distraction to Learning Tool

George Dotterer, NetRef CEO and founder, discusses how placing control in a teacher’s hands provides safer and more diverse learning experiences for students. Dotterer touches on hot topics including data usage and privacy practices, how students sometimes prove to be the best beta testers and how parents play a role in the larger discussion of edtech and learning outcomes. He further discusses the digital divide and connected approaches to learning from NetRef’s recent white paper The Digital Divide in the Age of the Connected Classroom.

Dotterer is a self-proclaimed creative engineer at heart. Dotterer is a successful entrepreneur and leader with over 12-years’ experience building leading-edge technology companies. He is also an Eagle Scout and in his free time continues to volunteer in Scouting.
