    Students will be issued a district Chromebook, but are able to BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) at Braswell High School. The device can be any piece of technology that allows students to access the Internet through the Denton ISD WiFi & engage in the learning in the classroom. Suggestions for devices include:

    • Laptops
    • Chromebooks

    Please note: A cell phone is NOT considered a sufficient device.

    Teachers and students will use web-based applications like Canvas and Google Drive to enhance student learning and collaboration. All apps and websites will be free for students to load and use.
