A Day in the Life of BYOD

What can BYOD look like at TMS? Let's take a hypothetical look at what a student's electronic device could do in a given day.

1st hour: PE - the QR reader links the student to classroom workout videos
2nd hour: Tech Ed - the calculator figures square footage for architectural assignment
3rd hour: Math - with partners, students watch videos from "Flipped Classroom" to support new learning
4th hour: English - connect to Socrative to demonstrate mastery of tone/mood (see pic)
5th hour: Digital Literacy - use camera to take pictures for the electronic book being written
6th hour: Science - connect to Internet to identify heat transfers into PollEverywhere (see pic)
7th hour: Social Studies - the dictionary confirms an inference on an unfamiliar historical word in a primary source document

Throughout the day: use calendar app to record homework assignments

Notice the variety of tools available when we encourage BYOD. I can't help think of the potential to expound on the uses identified above.
