I agree that BYOT can work. I feel that you initially need parents on board so that they will allow the student to bring the device in. In the classroom you need to discuss and come up with the expectations of what it will look like in the classroom when devices are being used. Students need to be a part of this and have some ownership of it. Give the students opportunities to practice using the device in class with short easy tasks. Have a central location for websites that you know you will want them to use often. I think that BYOT does require more planning and anticipating any problems that might arise. As the article stated students are using devices on a regular basis at home and I feel they should be able to transition to using them in school on a more regular basis.
