12. Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT)
BYOT stands for Bring Your Own Technology, and means students are able to use technology their family owns while at school.   Although any device will be helpful, devices which allow the student to create content (Netbooks, Chromebooks, laptops, tablets) and which have a keyboard are best suited, and often less expensive than devices designed for consumption (cell phones), but both types of device are acceptable.
