BYOD

I just watched the video on BYOD.  I do like the idea of BYOD but I am still unsure at times about incorporating into my everyday instruction.  I would like to incorporate it more and more I just need to be more confident and let go.  The students at Carson MS seemed very comfortable with using the technology at school.  Several were using BYOD to take notes or to create flashcards.  I do agree that the technology definitely causes student engagement to increase.  We are starting an investigation in science and I think I will have the students bring in their devices for the next few weeks and use them during class.  They can use them for research, videos, create data tables and graphs etc.  I will be anxious to see how it all works out.
