Before planning any BYOT [program], you must decide what kind of ‘apps’ you will be running—whether they be IOS, Android, or strictly web-based–and then make sure that all students and parents know the ‘rules’ for BYOT.

Look for technology partners who can help build this integration and maintain a stable infrastructure.”
