Be agile enough to pick up new tools as they become available, and similarly, be able to let them go when they reach their used-by date.

Misconceptions about BYOT « techgirljenny - 0 views

  • Digital Information Literacy. In this digital age with information at our fingertips, students AND adults must learn to evaluate and interpret this information
  • A teacher is not expected to know everyone’s device or operating system. This would be impossible. The students know their device because it is theirs.
  • A skill that students must learn is how to choose the best app/software for the task at hand. It doesn’t mean that every student in the class has to turn in a PowerPoint. They can each publish something different, such as a Glog, VoiceThread or Prezi, while still meeting the objectives or requirements of the projects.
