Education on the go.BYOD

Albert Einstein quote “education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school”. If Einstein lived today, he would be, please that education is taking place outside the classroom. What or whom do we thank for it? Many thanks to technology especially mobile devices such as (laptop, smartphone and Apps) for providing this opportunity. 

             I like the personal laptop or notebook computer for on the go learning. Least we got distracted with all the other new ‘toys’ in the market place, this mobile device, boast a plethora of function. Just about many or most apps can be download depending on your storage capacity. “Don’t worry be happy”; If you download so much to your hard drive that you run out of space (almost impossible to do), there are external hard drives holding capacity upward of 64G to store and download new software, games and videos. We all know your laptop or notebook can go everywhere with you. Once a student connect to available Wi-Fi they can access all the things they use via having internet service. Another, cool thing about it is you do not even need your internet services to take notes or write a document or create and edit picture and project. The Microsoft applicant that many users download on their laptop and notebooks allows users to create, edit, store, publish from apps such as word 2013, publisher, PowerPoint and Excel just to name a few. Also, if our students take class note via the ‘dragon speaking’ app, they will need to connect to the internet.

Last but not least the personal computer allows educators to use networking site like edmundo.com and angel to deliver course work to students.  Student who has missed class for one reason or another can access their teacher and receive assignments.  Students are also able to collaborate with others near or far on a fun project. 

Sorry Einstein, education is all but forgotten.  The world is now the classroom.
