"Just a little reminder. BYOD in education refers to students bringing their own technology devices ( smartphones, tablets, and laptops. ) to school for educational uses. This was initially started by college students, but it soon spread to K-12 education. Schools that used to depend on government funds to provide technology that students would need for the school day , are now turning that responsibility to the parents by asking them to purchase the technology devices needed for schools, which, fortunately enough, most students actually own. This would cut down on schools' huge yearly technology expenditure.

BYOD, a new way enabled the teachers and students learning and communacation through internet . I think it will be a new trend in the future.It will provide the students more opportunity to learn whenever and wherever they want.

BYOD indeed! Many schools have outdated technology and cannot afford to upgrade every 2-3 years. Delete the scoop?

This is an interesting app for both iPhone and Android. You can practice dialogues with a virtual character. There is some free content, but the app runs on subscriptions (£2.99 a month). Worth giving a try though to see how it works for you. Delete the scoop?
