BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is a great way to leverage the powerful tools that are often in your students’ pockets or backpacks.
Getting started with BYOD can be pretty easy, but it pays to think about the landscape of tools, and to be knowledgeable of what tools are available for students to support the various learning tasks in your classroom.
