Sibling Group Holdings, Inc. (SIBE) Grows through Deployment of Mobile Systems in Learning Environments
Despite rocketing acceptance of mobile devices in nearly all aspects of today’s culture, there are still opponents to this technological phenomenon playing a practical role in the classroom. However, ask kids what they consider to be useful tools when it comes to learning and you will quickly find the tablet, laptop and a variety of new-fangled mobile devices pushing the pen, pencil and eraser out of the picture. Classroom applications utilizing mobile devices such as handheld computers, PDA’s and smartphones are assembling tomorrow’s learning toolboxes in today’s classrooms all across the globe.
Mobile devices (such as a Pocket PC) in the classroom can be used to enhance group collaboration among students through communication applications, interactive displays, and video features. Existing mobile technology is replacing the aged textbook, visual aids and antiquated-looking overhead projector.
Sibling Group Holdings focuses on providing services and technology in the field of education. It operates through two divisions, Educational Management Organization (EMO) and Technology and Services Group (TSG). The EMO division provides school management services, primarily within the charter school arena. The TSG division focuses on the development and deployment of software, systems, and procedures to enhance the rate of learning in primary and secondary education. The company also offers online curriculum with 192 master courses for the K-12 marketplace. Additionally, it provides software to the public school market that allows for communications between the teacher and the students using blog-like functionality and professional development courses for teachers in the area of special education.
In step with its prominence in the online and mobile education arena, SIBE is executing on its plan to acquire and integrate the resources of Urban Planet Media & Entertainment Corporation – a leading innovator of mobile learning based in Durham, North Carolina. The privately-held mobile media company focuses its energy in the education and healthcare sectors and is immersed in business activity in forty countries.
Bearing the fruits of solid, long-standing partnerships, Sibling Group Holdings through Urban Planet should realize growing demand for its solutions in the Middle East and throughout the world. The UAE will become the sixth country to launch Urban Planet Mobile in the Middle East.
