Through the implementation of BYOD,  it ensures that students are connected, have access to data and complete tasks for their own student benefits. Therefore this may increase productivity and enjoyment for students, security and greater control.
One-to-one technology has lead schools into exploring options for technology within the classroom. Study has shown that there is an increase in productivity rates, when students are able to use their own device at school and when at home. BYOD differentiates itself from one-to-one technology as the students are able to take the device home with them, so therefore it encourages them to complete homework more frequently.

The stand out issue is whether or not families have the money to allow students to have their own personal devices. Depending on the situation students may not have access to the internet at home. Therefore if the program is going to be implemented into schools they need to provide for students from a low socioeconomic background to ensure all students have equal access.

Before implementing BYOD program into schools there are many things to consider. The main thing to consider is the socioeconomic status of students and whether or not families can afford their own personal devices. If not, then schools will need to make devices available for students to have equal access. Students will be using the internet to steam videos, research various topics. Schools will need to ensure there is a sense of security and protection for all students. Students will need to sign a contract to agree to the terms and conditions of BYOD.
Teaching and assessment vision are important, as you can use technology for the skills and learning outcomes whilst ensuring that the assessment is hand written and only use technology when needed.
