BYOD Teachmeet

[catshilllearning]

I’ve received the following request from a school...

“Just on the off chance you might be able to help with your wide range of school contacts – do you know of any schools who have a BYOD policy please? Ideally looking for secondary schools. I’ve a colleague here investigating this as a possibility and is looking to make links with other schools who’ve gone down that route to see how they’ve done it.”

Would anyone in the Edugeek community be interested in sharing their experiences and thoughts in respect of BYOD if a online teachmeet were run?

 

Last month, I facilitated an online teachmeet “Chromebooks in the Classroom” using Google Hangouts that was attended by eight schools plus the National Stem Centre. A recording of the hangout has been made and will be posted on YouTube.

I couldn't offer assistance on Teachmeet? no idea what it is - but BYOD is a whole different ball game.

 

Currently finishing up on a report which may be the very last one I do (for a while at least) in regards to these types of Schemes. We ran it for many years and the School is scrapping it and returning to basics/what works - PCs.

 

15 Pages long that was down from 20+ pages of notes.

mthomas very very interested in anything you can share on that report as it's being pushed a lot more round these parts as a magic bullet fix to "everything" and all I can see is massive expense...

I would also be interested of anything you could share @mthomas, especially if you have any evidence dispelling the myth that 1:1 schemes are long term cost savings to the school.
