The document outlines a BYOD/BYOT implementation plan for the Habersham County Middle School math program. It allows students to choose from a range of approved personal devices and operating systems. Students will be provided Google accounts for storage, documents, and other tools. While device use is not mandatory, the school will provide devices to any students who do not have their own. Teachers are encouraged to incorporate technology into note-taking and assignments when appropriate. The plan includes sample classroom activities and reviews of math-focused educational apps. Follow-up questions are provided to evaluate the implementation over time.
