"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."
Let's make learning student centred. It's really important that students have access to the web and as we know many schools do not have the funds to provide devices one to one. A solution is BYOD but obviously we need to ensure that there are protocol around the use and expectations of being a good digital citizen.
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.

What Teachers + Educators should learn about BYOD
Gust MEES:
Most of articles, blogs and Tweets witten by educational people are showing the advantages of "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) and they embrace very well BYOD, which I do also; but...
There are some more things to consider such as:
- A BYOD Policy in the campus, school...
- Prepare for BYOD in your organization
Read my complete curation about it here:

Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) schemes have become increasingly prevalent in most businesses worldwide, as employees look to use their own personal devices in a business context. When asked if employees valued certain devices over others, 89 per cent of those surveyed claimed this was the case.
“Rather than fight against the tide, organizations should embrace the use of these devices and work alongside staff to ensure that comprehensive IT policies and best practice guidelines are put in place to assist and inform employees about how their devices should be used. End-point protection for these devices is also crucial if businesses want to safeguard employees against an ever-changing, increasingly sophisticated threat landscape.”
