BYOD (Bring your own device) or BYOT (Bring your own technology) is catching on across the country. Maybe it should be BYOMAD (Bring your own more advanced device). Chances are, the devices kids are being allowed to use in school are superior to the technologies that currently exist in their classrooms. Is this BYOT movement a result of the current economic conditions impacting school budgets or the result of forward thinking district administrators? Who cares? It makes sense and I'm hoping more school systems in the coming school year see the benefits. Here is a link about a school system in Texas that is saving $150,000 by allowing kids to bring their own technology into their schools.
