Date: 2018-01-05

Modern learners are called by some ‘the net generation’ or ‘digital natives’ referring to the ways the students cope with reality around them, study, work and build social networks. There are myriad ways of working with the current generation, and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) might have potential to help students increase their skills. This talk will present the pros and cons of the BYOD trend, and introduce ways to integrate mobile learning into daily lesson planning and syllabus design. It will also focus on how to get started and provide some technical considerations for ELT lessons.
