BYOD stands for “bring your own device” and refers to learning communities into which students are required to bring to school daily a device with various technological capabilities. Currently, most students at ASFA bring and use their own devices on campus. One immediately sees that there are almost as many different device preferences among students as there are different students. These differences reflect personal preferences and individual needs. ASFA requires that all students bring their own devices every day.

 

We often employ the phrase “ASFA fit” around campus and it bespeaks the individualized styles and creative spirits that populate not only the student body but the faculty and staff as well. Implementing a required BYOD initiative seems to mirror that culture and is itself, the best “ASFA fit.” That is why we feel it is the best approach to integrating more technology immediately into every student’s learning experience.
