“In the article you mention a ‘custom app’ about Jamestown,” wrote hayesja. “But what if the student brings an Android device or a QNX-based tablet instead of an iPad or iPhone? 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. The teachers must also know what kind of apps will be used. Just because a teacher can run an app on [his or her] iPad does not mean that all students will be able to run that app on their devices.”
“Schools will need to have a robust and dense wireless infrastructure to allow students to access internal school resources,” explained mkunkel@vartek.com. “The challenge will be to create a ‘cloud’ (internal/private) which can be integrated with the public cloud. Look for technology partners who can help build this integration and maintain a stable infrastructure.”
