[elearning] smartphones used for learning

[The IWBNet Team]

Hi Michael

 

Many of the teachers presenting at our conference next year  are using smart
phones in their classroom.

 

If you take a look at the program (this is not a plug, there is no need for
you to attend the conference) you will be able to see the teachers names and
schools who are using BYOD programs in their school and make contact with
the school/teacher directly. 

 

A draft program can be found at:

If there is anyone you would like details of please let me know and I will
seek permission for you.

Subject: [elearning] smartphones used for learning

 

I was wondering if there are many secondary schools that permit (or
encourage) students to bring and use their smartphones in the classroom. I
am very interested in visiting a school or two that do this early next year
and seeing how they are used.

 

We have introduced BYOD at our school as optional at all year levels. We
have specified a suitable device as a tablet (iPad, Android or Windows 8) or
a laptop (Windows or Mac) but have put a size restriction of a minimum of 23
cm diagonal screen. This therefore excludes devices such as iPad Minis,
Galaxy Notes and smartphones.

 

Just would like to know if other schools deal with learning with phones.
