BYLD Initiative

I thought it was nuts when it was introduced. I couldnt have been more wrong! Greg Ross, SHS Latin Teacher

"The ability to use BYLD devices in my class has proven to have tremendous value enabling me to achieve a higher level of performance. Quizlet is a website that helps me learn my Latin vocabulary words using electronic flashcards. The use of BYLD devices in the classroom puts learning in my hands, giving me a productive and interesting way to study in the comfort of my own device. In class, I am able to participate at a faster pace when we are given quizzes or review work. Ultimately, the use of technology has allowed me to learn in a comfortable hands-on fashion that allows me to strive for excellence! SHS Student

Additional Comments or Suggestions:Let it continue and grow."I am amazed how the students have stepped up with responsible and appropriate use.The BYLDs are part of almost every students day. Like with anything, if we teach them proper usage etiquette, there will be a learning curve, but in the end the benefits will be worth it.I need a few back up computers for those students without technology.
