Making The Grade: Where are the iBeacons in K-12?

<p>One of the buzzwords that we’ve been hearing for years in the K–12 environment is iBeacons. Apple introduced iBeacons back in 2013, but to be honest, I’ve yet to see a killer use case in K–12. I’ve seen some discussion around the iBeacons (http://docs.aerohive.com/330000/docs/help/english/ng/Content/gui/configuration/configuring-ibeacon-service.htm) used well in retail, hospitality, and sporting events, but even that hasn’t taken over the world. Wi-Fi vendors have been building in beacons into their access points for a couple of years now, and iOS devices have had the technology in it for multiple revision rounds, so I am left with the question: Where are the killer iBeacon (https://9to5mac.com/2018/10/29/beacon-adoption/) use cases, and why aren’t we hearing more about them in real life deployments? This week, I’m looking at some potential ways that iBeacons can be used in K-12 environments. <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2019/01/19/ibeacons-in-k-12/#more-574028" class="more-link">more…[/url]</p>
