My perspective is that BYOT (Bring Your Own Technoloy) isn't so much about requiring that students bring their own technology as it is about allowing them to do so. The prupose is to "change the way students view their devices by changing the language when they are referenced. Students need to fully understand that they are tools for learning. Make consistent efforts to refer to them as mobile learning devices." As for the equity issues: keep some devices on hand and pass them out unobtrusively to students who don't bring one from home (as usual it isn't the technoology that increases the divide between rich and poor, it's how we offer support to the poor).
