A Principal's Reflections

AUGUST 21, 2016

How many of us had a Blackberry as our first smartphone? I sure did and many members of my Personal Learning Network (PLN) still make fun of me for it as I held on a bit longer than most. Apple and Steve Jobs disrupted the smartphone business with the iPhone.

It all began around 2003 when the smartphone wars started with Blackberry, but was quickly taken over by the Apple iPhone in 2007. Technology now allows for professional learning to take place anytime, anywhere, and with anyone. At this point change began to happen at a rapid pace.

When I go to each of my devices (2 iPads, an iPhone 6plus, 2 laptops, and a desktop at school) I don''t have to transfer my documents because they are already there once I install Dropbox! Your smartphone and tablet are weighed down with one-hit-wonder apps that you were obsessed with for a week and then forgot about.

I did a very unscientific Twitter poll (click or see below), and I asked my Education Personal Learning Network (PLN) friends if they sleep with their phones and was surprised by the many responses. I keep my iPhone bedside, face down, with Do Not Disturb scheduled from 9pm to 6am, Night Shift activated.
