Think back to a time when you were in school. If you’re as young as me there were probably some old, broken computers in every classroom, each barely capable of running Windows 98, let alone anything worth while.

eInstruction hopes to bring the tech into the hands of everyone in the classroom, whether it be elementary, high school or colleges. Its new product, the Interwrite Mobi System, provides a way for teachers and students to connect more easily through technology. The system gives students tablets that connect to the classroom’s network. The students can then answer questions, ask questions or interact more with the teacher instantly. The teacher then sees the responses and is able to tell who said what, so they can identify students that might need extra help, or those who completely understand the material.
