Noste si vlastní přístroje!
Text článku: Jsou firmy, které kvůli snazší kontrole a vyšší bezpečnosti dat trvají na tom, aby jejich zaměstnanci používali pouze služební technologie, které jsou spravovány podnikovými IT administrátory. Podobný tradiční přístup lze nejsnáze realizovat v podmínkách lokální sítě, tj. u zaměstnanců sedících v kanceláři, pracujících na stolních počítačích a dodržujících pevnou pracovní dobu. Jenže toto je model, který je překonaný. Dnes je u mnoha pracovních činností naprostou samozřejmostí, aby se zaměstnanec pohyboval z místa na místo nebo aby podstatnou část své práce dělal z domova. Situace ve školství je nápadně podobná. Přístup, který se momentálně prosazuje třeba právě u nás, patří k nejsnadnějším a nejlevnějším. Asi bych neměl zapomenout, že teoreticky může existovat ještě jeden model využití technologií ve vzdělávání. Podívejme se na zkušenosti ze škol v zámoří, které již model BYOT používají. Použití vlastního zařízení ve výuce má ještě další důležitý přínos.
The Role of Tech vs The Purpose of Education
Working in the field of digital media and learning, where the important role of new technologies in learning seems self-evident, the slow pace of change in mainstream education can feel frustrating. Responding to this challenge, we give a lot of attention to thinking about ways to support and encourage teachers to make greater use of the opportunities presented by digital media, but perhaps we should spend more time considering how and why technologies come to be used, or not used, in the first place. Ambitious Goals for the Transformative Potential of Digital Media Enthusiasm for the use of digital media in education stems from a number of very different places. Whatever the reasons behind enthusiasm for using digital media in education, it can quickly turn to frustration at what can seem to be a distinct lack of progress in mainstream classrooms.

Researchers develop ‘smart’ touch-responsive internet-enabled newspaper
My European speaking tour (ending today) has had two primary themes: crowdsourcing and the future of corporate IT. However at a couple of points, notably a guest lecture to Moscow’s Higher School of Economics’ School of Journalism, I have delved into the future of media. As always, my well-known Newspaper Extinction Timeline has come up as a hot topic of discussion. One of things I always have to point out is that we should not be comparing newspapers with the tablets of today when we think about the choices people will make in how they access news. The e-ink initiatives have some way to go, however it seems there are other paths to this outcome, as shown in this video. In a post on BBC College of Journalism website Paul Egglestone of University of Lancashire’s school of journalism writes: The research project is called Interactive Newspaper, which says: Interactive paper is a type of “smart” paper.

How Tablets Will Change Higher Ed
Tablets are set to change computing with intuitive operating systems, web browsing, access to hundreds of thousands of apps, and even the option to attach a keyboard. From the start, we knew tablets would be big—they’re more mobile than laptops but easier to interact with than phones. It hardly needs to be said (but we’ll say it anyway) that Localist performs well on tablets of all makes, but let’s not kid ourselves: when we say “tablets,” we mean the iPad. Apple’s tablet represents 89% of the US tablet market! Tablets are being adopted at an impressive rate, and tablet purchases are expected to outpace smartphone purchases over the next two years. Tablet ownership among college students has correspondingly skyrocketed and a Pearson Foundation survey found that it has tripled from a year ago. Your school should be preparing to incorporate tablets into campus life and the classroom. Why Tablets are Not the Same as Mobile Tablets Will Transform the Classroom Keeping up with Students

Mobile Apps Will Pass - History Will Repeat Itself
Over the past few years the big sexy conversation at conferences has slowly morphed from social media to mobile. It is partially because social media is better understood now but it’s also because mobile is the shiny new toy that everyone is trying to figure out. We have seen incredible inroads that mobile traffic is making up a larger and larger portion of web traffic. Mobile traffic to websites has doubled across the year alone in 2011.With all these discussions it has me thinking more and more of the future of mobile apps. With recent data suggesting that the average user has well over 50 apps installed on their smartphone it is a great time to be an app developer. About a month ago I was at the OmniUpdate user conference on a panel talking about mobile and its adoption. History Repeats Itself Think back to the beginning of this decade around the time of the .com stock bubble. The point is what happened next? Think about what is happening right now… IT IS THE SAME THING!
The Failure of One Laptop Per Child
"25 million laptops later," Mashable announced today, "One Laptop Per Child doesn't increase test scores." "Error Message," reads the headline from The Economist: "A disappointing return from an investment in computing." The tenor of these stories feels like a grand "Gotcha!" One Laptop Per Child was a good idea, a noble and ambitious one at that. Arguably more significant than the competition OLPC faces from these low-cost tablets and netbooks: 95% of the world's population now owns a cellphone, by some estimates (See Wikipedia's list of mobile phone penetration, broken down by country). The mission of the non-profit organization always stressed something broader, bigger -- One Laptop per Child meant empowerment, engagement, and education: We aim to provide each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop. No mention of improving standardized test scores in there, you'll notice. The study links that boost in cognitive skills to "increased interaction with technology."
