"I have been very fortunate to see Bring Your Own Technology — BYOT — in action in schools in various countries, with learners of various economic backgrounds. While teaching in the U.S., Germany, Greece, Slovenia and Croatia, I used BYOT to teach my learners with technology when little to no technology was available to us. I have integrated BYOT with learners from the ages of 4 to 80 who came from various economic situations. BYOT integration worked effectively with all these groups." Delete the scoop?

"BYOD policies–Bring Your Own Device–allow schools to bring technology into the classroom with a “bottom-up” approach. Such an approach can save money, allow students to use their own devices, and encourage a student-centered approach to learning." Via John Evans, Ness Crouch

I like this concept and prevents particular companies from monopolizing the educational landscape and limiting student options. Apple seems to dominate classroom space, although increasingly Android is the choice of young people. BYOD allows the relative strengths of each platform (and device) to benefit the learning opportunities available in the classroom and not just the commercial interests of some multinational company.

So students and faculty like the idea of BYOD. The trick will be to manage BYOD so students get an equivalent learning experience.

Read this and consider trying JUST 1 in your classroom over the next three weeks. Assess the pros and cons and determine whether what you used has value for future use. If not, try another and do the same. You'll be surprised at how beneficial the attempts are including technologies in your class will be. Delete the scoop?

As Zac notes in this article, which he wrote spontaneously on his “Bring Your Own Device” while at school, many teachers have been reluctant to allow technology into their classrooms, even if they have that option. Zac suggests it’s a trust issue — teachers don’t trust students and students decline to demonstrate that they’re trustworthy because they feel they are being denied access to what (to them) is a tool for everyday learning in the real world.

1 to 1 tech to students would be grand but most school districts won't be able to meet that dream.
Good stuff to think about. I like the creativity that BYOD brings, but 1:1 would rock!
