BYOD
Do you think we should have Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) at nelson central school?
Well I have mixed opinions, there would be a lot of rules to go over but at the same time
There would be plenty of benefits.
One reason why I think we shouldn't have BYOD is because a lot of parents can't afford
To buy devices for their children. So a lot of children might feel left out and won't be able to
Join other people's online games that your friend might be playing.
But like i said at the beginning of my argument there are some benefits of BYOD as well.
It would be good if everyone had a device for learning because at the moment we don't
Have enough for everyone, we have three ipads and three computers and there is 30
Students in our class which makes it five people between one device. And devices are
good for research and communication.
But another reason why i don’t think we should have BYOD is because some parents might
Not approve of their children having loads of screen time. Im sure im not the only one that
Has a time limit on my device! But also think about the teacher, if a child lost of broke their
Device the teacher would probably get the blame when really the child's responsibility.
In conclusion, i have mixed opinions for BYOD although they are good for learning
They can easily get stolen or broken at school. So what do you think of BYOD at Nelson
central school.
