I was not so familiar with BYOD until after this lesson. It was something that I associated with the corporate world (and not the classroom) - with big organisations allowing their employees to bring their own devices to work as a measure of motivating them with the feeling of greater contribution to the company.

If not then we have to go ahead and create some.

ReplyDeleteEdward,thank you for tireless contribution towards fighting the academic and professional giant at our fore front.Indeed youtube educational videos indeginously made are very scarce and the best thing to do is to''CREATE'' them.Dear,remoteness of my workplace is doing me more harm than good.Poor internet connectivity and lack of infrastructure besides distance to the nearest cafe are my major setbacks but no turning back.Hoping to catch up.thanks.
