Byod. (Andy Marx). I pad

The article about byod was very thought provoking. The use of personal devices, despite concerns over texting, web surfing or cheating, is the wave of the future. These devices are tools, tools for analysis an research and assessment. The only real obstacle is encouraging,or educating educators, how to use these tools in the classroom. I found that things like the socrates site, are great ways to get teachers to try it and grow comfortable. However, in poorer, under funded districts, I can see how technology would be tough to include everyday. I just hope that we realize it is critical for us to adapt to our students, not the opposite. Ben brought up some great points, and the use of our new technology can truly improve learning, more than the calculator! Our future sure is in flux, who knows we could be teaching in a collegebsetting sooner than we think.
