Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs are a natural corollary to technology-based educational initiatives. Challenges for BYOD are, however, also obvious: strain on school internet networks, content management, cheating and distraction. BYOD has an obvious impact on parents and other support structures students rely on.

Either 1:1 or BYOD or some combination of both is giving students the opportunity to discover learning or create new information in a variety of ways. But through a pilot program we discovered that the focus of our professional development around BYOD needed to not be on technology. Authentic-based learning is just one way.
