There has been a bit about type of devices students prefer. Interestingly there seems to be a lot coming through that the iPad is great for students with learning difficulties. Another interesting phenomena is the is growing comments in online circles About giving students the opportunity to bring their own devices. One student said that he bought laptop, iPad and iPhone. He said that each had a different function and would be used at different stages throughout the day. Byod… Bring your Own devices obviously has big implications for networks and monitoring but it is an interesting notion especially when one considers that if we move away from a one size fits all..to me the ideal 1:1 learning environment is one where the student chooses what technology they want to use to work with and create. at times that would be a pen, a laptop, perhaps the whiteboard in a collaborative space… maybe the same needs to be said for which device they decide to use.
