Exit Ticket

Tell us about your experience at Parker with BYOD and your thoughts about it. In this class you will need the ability to use your device in class when the labs are being used for testing. Consider the following questions, but do not limit yourself to answering these.

• What device do you prefer to have with you daily?
• How do you use it to help you in school?
• What apps do you currently use for schoolwork?
• Do you have email set up on it so you can email quickly instead of having to access it through the Internet? Why or why not?

Expectations and Rubric

Learning new technology is an important part of this class, but demonstrating critical thinking skills is essential.  

• Do you have creativity to apply new technology?
• Do you have the curiosity and logic to process it?
• Are you thorough, persistent and detail-oriented while doing so?
