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.
I'm looking into smartphones and tablets in education. I teach at a community college and I am working with a K-8 science and technology school, so that pretty much covers the education spectrum. I see kids with these wonderful learning environments in their pockets at school and everywhere they go. I want them used as much for learning as they are for entertainment. Sooo much potential! Now if we can just figure out how to make it happen... There are plenty of challenges but that's what WE are good at! WikiEducators are a very resourceful lot so collaboration on this topic seems like a natural thing to do. With over 650,000 apps out there finding the "good" ones is a big job. Figuring out how best to use these devices to support learning is really interesting and important. Are you working on specific projects? Have you resources, lists, information that you would be willing to share? Have you prepared guides, tutorials for students and/or faculty? Have you thoughts, ideas about pedagogy that we are going to need to think about? Perhaps there is an opportunity to compare notes and/or pool resources. I'm open to suggestions. ..Valerie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
