I have a Kindle somewhere, but I have no idea where it is any more. On the other hand, I know where the Kindle apps are on my phone, tablet, iPad and Macbook Air, which makes knowing where the actual Kindle is irrelevant.

A new trend in technology integration is sweeping the nation, and it’s even started to find footing here in Pittsburgh. The BYOT movement, which stands for “Bring Your Own Technology” has students toting more than just pencils and paper to class — it has them bringing their cellphones, laptops and even their handheld gaming systems into school too. So what exactly does BYOT mean for education, and how is it changing the way we think of tech in the classroom? Let’s take a closer look.

The role of open resources in enabling universities to adapt was the message of Steve Carson from M.I.T. Traditionally, universities performed three functions, he said: “providing content to students, learning activities, and assessment and certification.” The Internet’s ability to provide more and better content faster and more cheaply meant these functions “have become disaggregated,” Mr. Carson said.
