Recommended Devices for BYOD

  • This is a list of the following types of devices that a student can use in our BYOD program.  Devices such as the Kindle Fire are not recommended since they are not a true Android device.  The Kindle Fire has its own operating system that may not be compatible with many of the applications we will use for instructional purposes.  Please contact the district technology department if you have questions about what type of device you should purchase.
