@BartVerswijvel That's a nice way to smoothly introduce BYOD at school. #LSLCHAT

Hi @BartVerswijvel @eu_schoolnet, hi all. I'm Natasa Ljubic Klemse, primary school teacher from Croatia. Yes, I have my own device #lslchat

@bbastiaensen
@ronsst @BartVerswijvel Do learning goals have to be bound to devices or textbooks? Can be, but don't have to in my opinion. #LSLCHAT

No school shall not ask them to buy same device, the publishers must ajust material for different platforms #lslchat

@BensBel
@bbastiaensen @BartVerswijvel School can try to make a good offer to buy devices together though #lslchat

@BartVerswijvel #lslchat BYOD will probably only work, if all same devices, because of same learning goals.

@bbastiaensen
@BartVerswijvel I think this is a pedagogical decission a school has to take. Same is selecting the right textbooks or software. #LSLCHAT

@BensBel
@BartVerswijvel School can't ask to buy the same device. My opinion... #lslchat

@bbastiaensen
@Stig3kids #LSLCHAT Maybe @eu_schoolnet can play a role in convincing insurance companies and/or @EU_Commission to do something about it.

@BartVerswijvel
So what do you think? Should school ask students to buy the same device (instead of books) or give freedom? #lslchat

#lslchat hope so much with devises use, because of emulation between students... And they think that school open her mind to their own world

@abfromz @BartVerswijvel Used it for French Foreign Language as a reward. Those who finished their task could play French (!) Game #lslchat

@bbastiaensen
@BartVerswijvel luckily not. But did have questions from concerned parents about it. before BYOD takes of this must be solved. #LSLCHAT

@Stig3kids
Well, they rather use the school-laptop (old) than risking their own to be broken #lslchat

@bbastiaensen
@BensBel @BartVerswijvel social exclusing is even bigger issue here. Also fear that pupils will do everything except school stuff. #LSLCHAT

#lslchat I ask my headteacher if possible to buy 6 galaxy tab, and surprise, she said yes !
Bart Verswijvel
@BartVerswijvel
@bbastiaensen and you had problems already with e.g. stolen devices? #lslchat
Bart Verswijvel
@BartVerswijvel
@Stig3kids You would think that students are more advanced in this? #lslchat
Arjana Blazic
@abfromz
@BartVerswijvel well, can't say i have lots of experience, but i use BYOD as often as possible #lslchat

@tree_europe
#lslchat I agree with you, we have to experiment even if there are obstacles !

@bbastiaensen
Other topic for discussion in BYOD @ our school: insurance. Students' devices are NOT covered by school insurance. #LSLCHAT How in rest EU?

@BartVerswijvel
#lslchat What can we learn from schools with experience? Please share!

@bbastiaensen
@BensBel @BartVerswijvel If pure knowledge is teachers' goal, than these watches are a problem. Otherwise ... ? #LSLCHAT

@BartVerswijvel
@Stig3kids Very remarkable Stig! You would think otherwise! #lslchat

@bbastiaensen
@BartVerswijvel Since this year internet is free for all devices. limited bandwith to avoid downloading and use gets monitored. #LSLCHAT

@Stig3kids @BartVerswijvel @Stig3kids @BartVerswijvel I think smartphones are also great for learning #lslchat
