Why Should We Implement BYOD at Lost Mountain? BYOD gives our students the opportunity to: o Have immediate access to information and on-line academic resources o Use devices they are familiar with and comfortable using o Take advantage of state-of-the-art applications for learning o Participate in more student-centered learning o Engage in more one-on-one interaction

What devices can our students use? * Laptops * Netbooks * Tablets (iPads) * Ipod Touch * eReaders * Smartphones * Old Smartphones will connect to the WiFi
