Zusammenfassung:	In this project report, we describe the role that a 1:1 smartphone deployment played in transforming the education of P3 (primary 3/grade 3) students (350+) from a didactic/direction instruction pedagogy to an inquiry pedagogy. Based on the students' test scores--Not only did the students learn the prescribed content, but they also developed 21st century skills. This project builds on a small-scale pilot--and is leading towards a multi-grade/multi-school fully scaled up project. [For the full proceedings, see ED562107.]
