BYOD is a model of technology that has some advantages for primary schools, such as:
- BYOD can foster student ownership and responsibility for their learning, as they can personalize their device and take care of it.
- BYOD can also encourage students to develop digital skills and citizenship, as they learn how to use their devices safely, ethically, and effectively.
- BYOD can support differentiated and individualised learning, as students can access a range of online resources, applications, and tools that match their learning goals, styles, and interests.
- BYOD can enhance collaboration and communication among students, teachers, and parents, as they can use their devices to share information, ideas, and feedback.
