This document provides guidance and tools for teachers to integrate bring-your-own-device (BYOD) strategies into their classrooms. It discusses why BYOD can enhance learning by tapping into students' use of mobile technologies outside of school. Tips are offered for classroom management with multiple devices, including pairing students, designated device locations, and setting clear expectations for appropriate use. Several formative assessment apps are introduced, as are ideas for using quick response codes for interactive displays, homework help, and connecting lessons to real-world examples. The goal is to help teachers engage students by bridging school and outside learning with BYOD strategies in a managed classroom environment.
