Connect Anywhere Everywhere

     Google has tried to change how consumers purchase non-subsidized cellular devices with their Nexus program, and they're now moving towards the next logical step: providing a mobile connection for those devices. Project Fi is an attempt to bring connectivity everywhere and anywhere as your device bounces between the strongest signal. Watch this video for some more information on how Project Fi works:

     According to Google, Project Fi could cost about $20 a month for talk, text, and other services. This has the potential to be huge for educators, especially if Google expands this plan to their Nexus line of tablets and/or Chromebooks. Students without internet access at home could take advantage of this service to stay connected and learn at any time of day, at any place. This, much like other projects such as Glass are innovative and experimental and it will be exciting to see what it leads to in the future.

     Want to get an early invite and see what the fuss is about? You'll need a Gmail account as well as a Nexus 6. If you have both, click HERE to sign up.
