Whenever schools look at BYOD (or BYOT) there are pros and cons. This post provides links to a number of resources that discuss the advantages and limitations and includes an excellent (and enjoyable) short video that presents a quick pedagogical look at BYOD in the 21st century. Well worth watching in my opinion. Via Beth Dichter Delete the scoop?

If you have not heard of ProCon.org this is a great introduction through the eyes of students in middle school, high school, and college. Student created videos discuss the value of using ProCon when researching a wide variety of controversial subjects. To quote their mission statement:
"Promoting critical thinking, education, and informed citizenship by presenting controversial issues in a straightforward, nonpartisan, primarily pro-con format."
The statement continues "We accomplish our mission by researching issues that we feel are controversial and important, and we work to present them in a balanced, comprehensive, straightforward, and primarily pro-con format at no charge on our websites." To go directly to the ProCon site (and not the videos):
