  10. Overall Learning Benefits Implementing a system in which students can bring their personal hands-on technology devices will not only enhance their learning styles, but also expand a student’s capabilities. Integrating our school into the technological world will prepare the student body for college, strengthen note taking techniques, and fortify organizational skills. In a world where technology is ubiquitous, it is important that students evolve to fit societal standards.
