Presentations

Last week our Internet for Educators class did presentations on topics of our choice relating to education and technology. It was a very educational session! Everyone had excellent presentations; each was unique and equally engaging – Great work everyone! I won’t go into too much detail about the topics, but if you weren’t in that class, here are the links to our presentations if you’re interested!

The group I was a part of discussed BYOD or bring your own device. To give you a brief overview, we discussed: what it was, different devices available, statistics, different apps/programs available, policies, benefits and risks of using BYOD in the classroom. My part was to find different apps/programs educators could use in the classroom and oh boy was there a lot to choose from! When I was researching for this project, I was absolutely overwhelmed with the amount of apps out there that were specifically designed for educators to use. If you want to check out the list I came up with, click the BYOD link above.

Having only experienced a “No Device” policy when I was in school, I’m interested to see how it actually works in the classroom!
Until my next post… JD
