BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) – Mobile Learning

 BYOD is an idea started in the business or workplace. The idea is to bring your own personal devices to workplace or library to use them in case of work or research. The same idea has made its way to schools and libraries.

BYOD offers teachers and librarians a choice to lead, teach, and support learning. The benefits of BYOD are teaching students and library patrons or users digital citizenship (personal devices require responsibility) and personal responsibility.

Bring Your Own Device offers students and teachers, librarians and library users’ access to the Internet and permission to use those devices in the classroom or library.  It provides access to both technology and resources. As technology changes, teachers and librarians need to adapt changes and play a lead, supportive, encouraging role in the use of mobile devices in education.
