[elearning] Fwd: [IAEP] Bring your own laptop program

[Roland Gesthuizen]

The links below more or less sum up where I think we are all heading towards
an environment where students are encouraged to acquire and bring their own
computer technology to school BYOT

"So while the mish-mash of technology may prove to be challenging for
teachers and IT staff to manage and control, in the end this isn't about
management or control of learning. It's about helping students use the tools
and gifts they have at their disposal, maximizing that potential and showing
them new possibilities as well."
(think of tablet style computers they take home, not smuggled away in class
sets)

>From my friends on the 1:1 OLPC computer trials.

This is an article by a school system that decided rather then buying
students a laptop they would encourage all students to bring their own
technology to school everyday. The second link is the school website. Looks
like they are using Google apps and open office.
