E-Learning-Inclusivo (Mashup)

"With the advance of technology and mobile gadgetry there emerged a wide variety of learning trends endemic to 21st century classroom environment. One of these trends is what is conventionally referred to as BYOD/T (Bring Your Own Device/Technology). In a BYOD classroom, students bring their own technology (e.g hand-held devices, laptops..etc) and use them for various learning activities. The pedagogical strength of BYOD is that it is an effective way to personalize learning and allow students easy and quick access to the technology they need to explore and learn collaboratively in a student-centerer environment."

During his talk at HOPE/X Jonathan Zdziarski detailed several undocumented services (with names like 'lockdownd,' 'pcapd,' 'mobile.file_relay,' and 'house_arrest') that run in the background on over 600 million iOS devices.

Zdziarski's questions for Apple include:

• Why is there a packet sniffer running on 600 million personal iOS devices instead of moved to the developer mount?
• Why are there undocumented services that bypass user backup encryption that dump mass amounts of personal data from the phone?
• Why is most of my user data still not encrypted with the PIN or passphrase, enabling the invasion of my personal privacy by YOU?
• Why is there still no mechanism to review the devices my iPhone is paired with, so I can delete ones that don’t belong?

... and his last slide (page 57 of the PDF) sums it up nicely: 

• Apple is dishing out a lot of data behind our backs
• It’s a violation of the customer’s trust and privacy to bypass backup encryption
• There is no valid excuse to leak personal data or allow packet sniffing without the user’s knowledge and permission.
• Much of this data simply should never come off the phone, even during a backup.
• Apple has added many conveniences for enterprises that make tasty attack points for .gov and criminals
• Overall, the otherwise great security of iOS has been compromised… by Apple… by design.

"Yesterday, an upset teacher pulled me out of a meeting requesting assistance.  She explained that there were several students in her classroom playing games on their iPads. Her frustration and sense of helplessness was evident in the tone of her voice and the look on her face.  By the time our short conversation concluded, it became apparent that she was blaming the technology for the lack of control in her classroom.

There has always been at least some sort of disconnect between how things like mobile learning are taught in a classroom and how things work in the 'real world'.

Les environnements de travail très différents dans les pays développés et ceux en forte croissance montrent les différences d'approche du BYOD. Les employés des marchés en forte croissance sont beaucoup plus susceptibles de participer et de soutenir le BYOD.

BYOD se refiere a Bring Your Own Device, trae tu propio dispositivo, y se refiere a una política de uso de recursos que está siendo ampliamente utilizada por todo el mundo, y que permite que los chavales traigan su propio dispositivo (portátil, tablet, smartphone o cualquier otro elemento tecnológico) al aula. En vez de utilizar los recursos disponibles en el centro, cada chaval traerá su dispositivo de casa. ¿Y qué tiene que ver esto con la educación? Un informe del European Schoolnet trata esta cuestión.
