"A new study conducted by TRU provides a body of research which supports the idea that students use cell phones to learn, and also that schools are not acknowledging or supporting them fully, yet. This research supports the work of innovative educators who are guiding today’s generation text and will help in the effort of getting more schools to stop fighting and start embracing student use of mobile devices for learning in school. Rather than banning, the study highlights the fact that if we meet children where they are we can leverage their use of mobile devices for powerful learning." Via John Evans Delete the scoop?

"So one of my first projects using the iPads was to get them to think about ways the devices could help students do better in school. It was originally supposed to be a mandatory project, but I assigned it far too close to end of the grading period for that to be fair. That's why it became an extra credit project. I would highly recommend doing this project with every iPad-wielding student." Via John Evans Delete the scoop?

Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) schemes have become increasingly prevalent in most businesses worldwide, as employees look to use their own personal devices in a business context. When asked if employees valued certain devices over others, 89 per cent of those surveyed claimed this was the case.
