Wondering what BYOD means or if your school is ready for it? In this 8-minute Pedagogical Quickie, I present some of the many advantages and limitations of this concept for education.



Of course, there’s lots more to say… Here are a few selected links that I find especially interesting on the subject:

  • Pros & Cons of BYOD in Schools created by IaninSheffield with the Pro|Con Lists web tool. When you consult the list, you can give more or less emotional and rational weight to each element. Bonus!
  • 7 Myths About BYOD Debunked by one of my favorite Tweeteratis, Lisa Nielsen aka The Innovative Educator. Read why she says “Schools can no longer be the last place to catch up to the present” and you can also follow many interesting links embedded in the article.
  • Have you tried the #BYOD hashtag on Twitter? It’s worth a look every once in a while. Some of the links have to do with business more than education, but the issues are sometimes very similar.
