The BYOT Yellow Belt

In 2012, I began experimenting with BYOT (Bring Your Own Technology) in my middle school classroom.  I wanted my students to use the technology in their pockets (Ipod Touch, Iphone, cell phone) or the stuff they have at home (Ipad, Android tablet, Surface) to extend their learning.  I didn't have a great idea of what it would I do.  I just knew that it needed to happen.  I outline the perils of this venture here.

In 2013, I jumped in head first and began blogging about my experiences.  I hope that as you read the posts here, you get the feel of a learner who is just getting started.  I call myself a yellow belt.  Both in attachment and in BYOT, I am just starting out.  Those who are interested in these ideas may feel comfortable here as there is no pretense.  How can there be?  I am just trying things out and sharing how it went.
