27. Discuss BYOD and mobile learning

I had a discussion from another teacher this afternoon about how BYOD has enhanced instruction.  No longer are teachers restricted to the outdated PC that has been in their classroom for years.  Now they can bring in personal devices and surf the web on macbooks and iPads with apps and programs they use at home.  Also, teachers having their mobile device on the school network allows them to check and respond to emails more frequently throughout the day, rather than only during their planning time.  This is a big step for our school system that has made a huge impact in instruction in a very short period of time.
