byod divide

  • When most of us consider education, we think of learning happening in isolated places — schools. But mobile devices are upending that assumption. With innovations like augmented reality, different kinds of information and experiences can be superimposed onto the real world, complementing and adding another dimension to “formal” learning institutions.
  • There is a dark side of the digital divide without broadband. Everyone assumes that people can access high powered sites. The FCC is busy working to create broadband for all but the realization of this will probably be a long time in coming. The sad part of this is the lack of classroom access in some parts of the US. We are told the new E-rate will help to solve this, but it is a BIG problem. Sometimes the people who need access most are out of sight , out of mind.

    This post is really weirdly written, kind of fractured. Has a great deal of good quotes and good questions about byod, the broadband side of the digital divide, and links to some good edutopia resources. Sig 1 context: byod, divide

    Pew internet and american life project. While not directly related to our SIG, this site has a VAST wealth of information from some of the research that the Pew center is doing relating to the internet and technology usage. I posted it here because it might be a good source of statistics for anyone who needs them. For example, statistics on Americans' broadband access might be useful in discussing the digital divide.

    Pretty lengthy article on mobile learning, and you have to register (free) to read the whole thing. Touches on the inevitability of byod, the digital divide questions that brings up, the hidden cost of broadband access. This article is a great overview of the whole situation.
