It really does seem like a no-brainer, but over the last two days I discovered the joy of Google Documents and presenting in a course using BYOD. The participants in the classroom had access to my PowerPoint (complete with links), and the assignment that I would normally hand out on paper through two links from Google Docs posted to my other blog. They could access my PowerPoint instantly and so have access to the items that I was discussing, including the very links that I was using in the presentation!
A simple thing perhaps, but it did make the experience much more seamless. The added benefit was in not having to be concerned about the device that they were using. Since the files were available in Google Documents, they were device independent. No more worrying about whether or not everyone in the classroom had the proper software (or version of the software).
Universally accessible documents AND no support issues, what's not to like?
