Leaders must begin to establish a vision and strategic plan to create classrooms and buildings that are more reflective of the real world while empowering learners to use technology in powerful ways through either personalized or blended strategies and increased access in the form of BYOD or 1:1. This needs to be prioritized.

In one respect everyone with a smartphone has instant access to information at any time and from anywhere. In fact, I for one benefitted greatly as a principal when I learned about something shared on social media and then either implemented or adapted it in a way that bolstered the transformation efforts at my school. Case in point.

Is there a plan to ensure that students have equal access to technology? Equitable access is a real problem, however, there are ways to level the playing field. In my current school, HPA, we have a program called Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) where the students are responsible for bringing a device to school.

Technology is to expand learning, amplify voice, and put them in positions to have powerful discussions. Teachers were empowered to take risks, given access and tools, but never forced to “use technology.” Over 5 years ago, they went BYOD with the focus on how will devices be used to take ownership of learning.

It is not that our students are actually learning differently per se, but the environment in which they are learning is dramatically different. The engaging aspects of technology today and ubiquitous access to information provide constant engagement to learners of all ages.
