If your private or small school is still holding off providing a mobile app for parents to access information via their smart phones, you may be losing both the mind share and revenue of an increasing segment of your parent population.<\/p>\n

According to the latest 2014 study by Nielsen, U.S. adults now officially spend more time connecting to the internet via their smart phones than their PCs. A typical U.S. adult spends 34 hours and 17 minutes a month on the Internet on a smart phone compared to 27 hours and 3 minutes on a PC, according to Nielsen. That translates to 1 hour and 8 minutes per day on smart phones and 54 minutes per day on PCs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for schools to get smart and begin offering truly unified mobile platforms<\/a> that reach out and engage parents on their turf \u2014 their smart phones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
