iPhones, Nintendos and Kindles - devices synonymous with "fun" - are taking a new role in the classroom, thanks to a new trend in education called Bring Your Own Technology - or BYOT.

Gone are the days where students sit neatly in rows all prepared with the same back to school supplies ready to consume instruction. As the 2012/13 school year approaches, one thing is clear. One-size-fits-all is out and personalization is in. This doesn't only apply to the classroom instruction, it also applies to the mobile devices your students choose to use for learning. Today student choice = personalization. The teacher sets the learning goals, but students choose their own tools or learning.
