First post to the forum of 2008 and its a request for help.

I want forum members to let me know schools thats allows Learners to bring in their own devices and give them access to internet or even full network access. Iam device agnostic so PC's,Umpc's, gaming consoles Nintendo's PSP Smart phones, Phones what ever .

But i want named schools the phase (Primary secondary).

The timescale is asap. So go on forum members reward my faith and confidence in you coming up with loads of examples English examples would be great or UK ones or intesting projects globally  .

So go on forum members help us out and maybe catch up at BETT next week.

Very apposite and no doubt related to minister Kevin Brennan's "War on Gadgets":
http://www.handheldlearning.co.uk/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,48/topic,1196.0

Not sure I can point you at schools encouraging the bringing in of their own kit, many schools ban on fear of theft, loss or damage as opposed disruption, but you may want to try Derek Robertson at the Consolarium. I met some of the young learners involved their who use Nintendo DS devices with software such as Brain Training every morning at school.

There have also been mobile phone based projects in primary in <a href="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=1043898959196049305" target="_blank">http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=1043898959196049305</a> where the school provided the phones and also Jonathan Sly and Anna Suggetthave been using Nintendo, iPods and PDA devices in Essex.

Let us know how you get on!
