I'll bite: what non-consumer level smartphones would you suggest for schools? What OS would you suggest (given the discussion here, it obviously can't be the consumer-level iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, or any other OS that runs on a phone a consumer can buy in a consumer mobile store).
- ktizo 15y agoI wouldn't suggest any smartphones for schools, I'd have them removed at the door and given back at the end of the day, but that's probably because I have a lot of sympathy with Cliff Stoll's views on computers in classrooms.
- runako 15y agoI get it. Rewriting your prior post for accuracy: How does having technology deployed to a school help educate people at all, regardless of things like platform fragmentation? :-)
- ktizo 15y agoNo, cos then they wouldn't be allowed to teach writing, which is quite a fundamental technology for education. Is just that I view issuing smartphones or consumer tablets in a classroom to be about as useful and productive as issuing games consoles.
