Is your school trialling or beginning a 1:1 digital devices or BYOD programme? What is your rationale for starting this initiative? How are you going about starting or what have you learned so far?
We have put a new section, Learning with 1:1 digital devices up on Enabling e-Learning. The aim of the content is to provide information and examples that support school leaders and teachers with introducing and developing a digital device or BYOD programme. Content includes:
We welcome your feedback and also your stories to enhance the content on the website.

Hi Barbara
A lot of great content there covering a range of necessary components. We have just this year began a 1to1 Trial in a Year 5/6 class which is going extreamly well. If you would like to know more have a look through the information we have been using for our parents. I am happy to discuss in further detail if you like.
Hi Kate
Thanks for your comment. What an exciting journey for you! I cross posted from Learning with 1 - 1 technologies. You might like to add your comments to the original post, as well.
Thanks

2. Does anyone have any idea how many Primary and Secondary Schools are using mobile learning devices in NZ?
Thanks
Hi,
We have just started BYOD for Year 9s at Mount Albert Grammar School (not 100% sure if you're a high school, but thought i'd offer) and the department has created ibooks for a good portion of what is taught in the year. All the .ibook and .iba files are available at: www.magsmaths.com
What this essentially means is that you not only have ibooks to use with your students on the ipad but you also have the author files to add/remove from them as you feel fit on your mac laptop. We are hoping that if you improve them you send your improvement to mathsbyod@mags.school.nz (this could lead to some great collaboration, all is explained at website)
Once again, the website is www.magsmaths.com
