"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, Peter Mellow 
Alan Ovens's comment,

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?

Linda Alexander's insight: Great list!
Every single teacher is concerned about his/ her teaching practices and the skills involved in this process. How many times have you wondered about a better way to teach the same lesson you have delivered to an eariler class? How often have you used technology to engage your students and improve their learning ? These are some recurring questions we keep regurgitating each time our teaching skills are put to the test.
