Publishing items for annotated bibliography

For this EDEM630 activity I need to publish an annotated bibliography from two sources which must include a journal article and a book chapter from an edited collection of chapters from multiple authors. These resources will be guided by my research topic (Preparing teachers for a BYOD classroom environment).

Journal Article 1:
Raths, D. (2012). Are you ready for BYOD? T H E Journal. 39(4), 28-32.
Description: This American journal article focuses on wireless networks and preparing schools to face BYOD and the strain this puts on wireless infrastructure. Most of the schools involved encouraged other schools to start preparing for BYOD years in advance. Students will most likely have more than one wireless device each which will put further strain on the wireless networks of schools.
Evaluation: Some of the information is not relevant as it has an American context and their systems are slightly different to those in New Zealand. It does include many practical suggestions that senior management and boards within schools may pay attention to, however it does not offer suggestions for teachers in classrooms. The MoE in New Zealand have supported this in schools through the implementation of SNUP (Schools Network Upgrade Project). The information provided is reliable from an American perspective.

Journal Article 2:
Dunleavy, M., Dextert, S. & Heinecke, W. F. (2007). What added value does a 1:1 student to laptop ratio bring to technology-supported teaching and learning? Journal of Computer Assisted Learning. 23, 440-452.
Description: This qualitative study focused on 1:1 computing in two American schools looking particularly at the value and challenges faced by this set up. Results showed that the 1:1 devices provided unique challenges for teachers and did not automatically mean added value. Challenges included classroom management and hardware issues. There was an emphasis by the authors to provide valid and useful professional development to teachers in order to support them in adding value to 1:1 devices.
Evaluation: I found the article really engaging and useful for my area of research. It included a lot of observation and feedback from real teachers and students, which makes it more authentic. It was very honest with the findings and issues that occur with 1:1 devices. The suggestions made at the end to other educators is essential to look at when planning for a 1:1 environment.

Please note: I have not been able to find a relevant book chapter on BYOD in schools. Need to go to the UC library!
