From the release of Apple’s iPad2 in March to the recent debut of hybrid ereaders like the Nook Tablet and Kindle Fire, mobile computing has made great strides.

Allowing students to use their personal devices in the classroom is imperative in a world full of ever-changing technology. Our students are remarkably adept at discerning the right devices for their needs. Because of my school’s open bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies, I see students using tablets, smartphones, laptops, and e-readers of all brands and models.
