I think that BYOD is built on trust and a system that will support all of the devices. Children bring their phones with them everyday to school and use them (GASP) even when they know that they are supposed to be put away. So why not allow them to use them for productive reasons. They sign an acceptable use policy at the beginning of each school year. The use of their own devices at school could be a part of that policy.
If my child has an I-pod or and I-pad or other tablet then he/ she has access to an app for almost any purpose. If we are using Ed-modo, e-mail, or other group setting then assignments can be easily submitted.
Education is no longer about memorization. Yes, there are still things we need to memorize. But how much farther we can take our learners if we move them up the Bloom's ladder of thinking. Using these devices at school lends itself to higher order thinking opportunities.
Sure you found the information... NOW WHAT? :)
I found this article on Mobile Learning. It is pretty interesting.
