The internet of things (IoT) gets a lot of press and K-12 and higher education are jumping on the bandwagon as well. But what does it mean for the future of education and how can your school or university participate – and thrive – with IoT? That’s what our podcast host, Jared Heiner, Director of Education Innovation & Sales at Aspire Technology Partners tackles with his guests, Lance Ford, Education Advocate at Cisco, and Brian Schillaci, IoT Specialist at Aspire Technology Partners.

To start, it’s not about the technology, it’s about solving real-world problems facing different educational organizations. For instance, a school district with commuting students on long bus rides back and forth to school could give those students the ability to do schoolwork during their ride. Or a university could provide campus-wide safety and security. The IoT is taking things that you may be using every day and integrating them with other systems to solve challenges on a larger scale.
