Day 1 of BYOT


Dr. Tim Clark is the Coordinator of Instructional Technology for Forsyth County Schools in Georgia. He has a blog at http://byotnetwork.com/.  I recently found a post on his blog providing strategies for the first week of school in a Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) classroom.  Here is day 1:  http://byotnetwork.com/2012/07/30/day-1-of-byot/.  Feel free to search his blog for other ideas.

Please share your plans for Day 1 of our BYOT Pilot here.
