Hi Valerie, This is a very good idea.l hope we have to set up a page or discussion forum on wikieducator to discuss and share our ideas about tablets in education along with our personalised opinions on BYOD.This is the need of the hour and l personally use skype for teaching and hence use tablet device and wish to know and meet other educators who share the common platform on the wikieducator too.Those who are more interested to know the developments in open source software in this regard can get its benefit too.

Re: [WikiEducator] BYOD Bring Your Own Device working group?
nowadays the concept of teaching has totaly changed after the introduction of virtual learning in schools. because now internet has become cheap, available in most of the village, also government has been trying to give better and quality education in a very affordable cost. The devices related to computer like laptop, netbook, tablet are become easy to purchase. If we could make the lessons to read in ebook format, then it would be a trtremendous change in education. sreekumar On Sun, Jun 17, 2012 at 3:55 PM, Valerie Taylor vtay...@gmail.com wrote: Perhaps now would be a good time to set up a BYOD Bring Your Own Device working group to address using mobile, personal and pocket devices in open learning.
