The document introduces HGTC's Mobile Web Initiative, which explores using mobile web technology to enhance teaching methods. It examines how students and teachers interact with technology in classrooms and in the field. The initiative focuses on 4 areas: using technology to teach, teaching technology, technology in the field, and application design and usage. It provides statistics on web-accessible devices among students and teachers, how they use devices, and gives examples of professors participating in the initiative. The goal is to empower teachers with new technologies and determine how to best connect and engage students through mobile learning environments.

16. 4 Areas Of Concentration
Each of the areas of concentration gives us a perspective to what limitations we may
see in infrastructure and data points at the campus. The schools success is
dependent on giving our students and teachers a safe and reliable way of accessing
data from a multitude of spots on a multitude of devices. Technology continues to
change and evolve. We try not to dictate change, but adapt and covet that change for
our staff and student body. By focusing our attention on infrastructure we insure
success for not only today, but for tomorrows technology as well.
