BYOD... Bring Your Own Device

The Speak UP 2010 results are beginning to be released. Surprise! There is interest in BYOD (I have called it BYOT previously). The results show that students want schools to help them use whatever devices laptops, smartphones, etc.) they bring to school and also that many parents are willing to purchase devices for BYOD initiatives!

Makes me question the wisdom of putting more resources into one-to-one initiatives in which everyone gets an identical device.
