TRANSCRIPT
Equip educators with and work well for new generations of learners who take the use of sophisticated technology for granted. ( Beethan & Sharpe, 2007)
Failing to do so, will only result in widening the gap between educators’ ideas about learning and those of their students. (Kukulska-Hulme & Jones, 2011).

WHY?
“Bring your own device (BYOD) refers to technology models where students bring a personally owned device to school for the purpose of learning. A personally owned device is any technology device brought into the school and owned by a student (or the student’s family), staff or guests” (Alberta Education, 2012)
