Beyond technology in primary schools: the role of technology ownership in different subjects and the impact on pedagogy

Beyond technology in primary schools: the role of technology ownership in different subjects and the impact on pedagogy is a project involving three primary schools and three Universities from Denmark, Sweden and Finland. The project’s aim is twofold: First, we aim to identify the practices, and appropriateness of use when primary school students use ‘Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD) technology at school. Such technology could include any kind of smart technology (phones, tablets), but also cameras, digital watches and any applications that such devices may be using to access information or collect data. Second, we are interested how school-owned technology is used to connect with such devices including if they are used to collect information from students.
The project is funded by the Nordplus Junior Program under the Nordic Council of Ministers.
