Expert Offers Training On Device-Neutral BYOD Lessons

The Journal (1/9, Fortson) reports that Kentucky Academy of Technology Education director Ron Milliner "argues that educators don't have to alter lessons for each device in a BYOD environment," noting that he says that "moving to a digital structure doesn't necessarily require big changes to existing lesson plans." Milliner offers a course which "goes into detail about specific tools teachers can use, highlighting similarly functioning programs across different devices--such as word processing programs Microsoft Word or OpenOffice for PCs, Pages for Apple, Google Docs for Android, and Word Mobile for Windows Phone."
