of devices and
platforms

BYOD BENEFITS

17. BYOD CHALLENGES AND
CONSIDERATIONS
Won’t my students be distracted by their devices? How
am I ever going to compete for their attention?
How will I learn so many different devices?
Teachers have found success with simple signals, such as the words “Devices Down”
when they need their students to stop and listen. When the devices are used as an
integral part of the learning process, students won’t be distracted- they will be engaged
in using them to learn.
You can rely on students to help one another- they are the technology experts.

18. BYOD CHALLENGES AND
CONSIDERATIONS
• The software that I use won’t work on cell
phones or tablets. With so many different
platforms and devices in one class, how will we
collaborate and share files?
• What about my students who can’t afford a
device?
Web-based software applications work on most platforms and can
accommodate common software needs, including photo editing and
multimedia presentations, often for free.
Ask parents to donate used devices when they purchase new ones, or ask students
to share with one another.
