The Competition

Part of the Birmingham vision for Transforming Secondary Education is that all learners will have access to a Personal Portable Learning Device (PPLD). At a recent event at the Young People's Parliament a number of students in secondary schools were asked to design a PPLD which would meet their learning needs.

Their musings have been categorised above into 5 major themes. Within each theme some of the things they debated have been listed.

Now it is your chance, particulary if you are a Birmingham learner, to enter into the debate and tell use what a perfect PPLD might look like and do.

Feel free to comment on any of the things already mentioned or add ideas of your own.
