    Some of the content in the article is a bit outdated since the article is from 2000. There have been quite a few innovations in the elearning world that can support new modes of interaction not covered here. Still, though, many of the suggestions are still valid and important.

    Infuse learning, like Socrative, is a web-based learner response solution that can work on any internet-connected device.  With this solution, learner response is simple.  This is especially appropriate for the BYOD classroom.  This system allows the creation of "whiteboard" items where students draw their responses.

    7 Steps to BYOT Here's what Georgia's Forsyth County Schools recommends when thinking about implementing BYOT. (Find more at www.forsyth.k12.ga.us/byot.) 1. Think carefully about your goals. 2. Survey students about what gadgets they own. 3. Get buy-in from parents and the community. 4. Determine rules for personal devices, and make sure everyone is clear on them. 5. Test connectivity by inviting students to bring in their devices. 6. Ask students about their experiences with their own gadgets. 7. Plan how you can use BYOT to develop fun, challenging activities for students.

    "If you teach math or science, you will likely find yourself asking your students to take out their rulers, compasses, protractors, thermometers, altimeters, and other measuring devices. Being able to see with a ruler and a protractor how a triangle with two equal sides really does have two equal angles can be powerful. Glenda Stewart-Smith of Surrey School District #36 in Canada put together this collection of iPhone and iPad apps that offer all of these measuring abilities and more."

    This short video would be excellent for prompting discussion or student research for 6-8 grade science students.  Be sure to check out the other great short videos from the "Its Okay to be Smart" YouTube channel as well.  Remember, students are not currently able to access YouTube from their devices, so you will need to project this video for the class if you want to use it.

      Regarding Relevance, I would probably add a check to decide if the app is grade-appropriate and that it will support student growth toward mastery of curricular standards, lesson objectives, etc.
