Forsyth County Schools is an international leader in the effective practice of BYOT, which encourages students to bring their personal technology tools to school for learning. The acronym "BYOT" stands for Bring Your Own Technology, a practice also sometimes often referred to as BYOD – Bring Your Own Device. It is an initiative that is having an impact in the business world as well as in education. From a user’s point of view, there is a certain comfort with using a technology tool that has been customized and personalized to one’s needs and interests. As students utilize their personal technology devices in school, they can learn new ways to use them for collaborating and interacting with their teachers and each other to research information, solve complex problems, create original products, and publish their work.
