Some of my parents run a small business and it is interesting to see how they engage with these to communicate, collaborate, research, socialise and work. Perhaps wearable technology is here when we think of how we integrate and talk with our pockets.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I notice that many schools are giving up mandating a particular device in the senior years with a move to BYOD so the question about a preferred school device becomes increasingly moot. I have heard this called CYOD or choose your own device. This works when school management, web, learning systems become increasingly device agnostic and our stuff lives in the cloud.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Personally I am impressed with how my new laptop syncs data and services with my iPad and iPhone. Last period I had to jump onto a loan device, just picking up where I left off on a browser to show a student where were were collaborating on a GoogleSite for an extracurricular project to build an autonomous vehicle. He was checking our work on his phone.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">At the junior year levels we mandate an iPad and later a netbook, I am curious how this will pan out over the next decade.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">When all you supply is a hammer, all your problems look like nails.</div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">Regards Roland</div><div class=""><br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
